Hi,

Sometimes when you start Outlook, the loading of my component fails. I therefore wish to enable information
troubleshooting.

I changed the adxloader.dll.manifest as follows: 


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <assemblyIdentity name="OutlookEvents, PublicKeyToken=9f292b333efdfe5d" />
  <loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="true" privileges="user" configFileName="App.config" >
  <logFileLocation>C:Temp</logFileLocation>
  </loaderSettings>
</configuration>


But it does not work...

Hi Stan,

How do you know that it doesn't work? Does it produce exceptions or messages? Can you please provide more details? Currently I just don't understand what occurs and and what you expect to occur.

Hi Andrei,

when the load fails, Outlook produces an exception.
As it rarely happens, I do not have exact message(this is happening to our customers).
That's why I want to enable debugging information.

An idea ?

Thanks.

Please try using <logFileLocation>C:\Temp\adxloader.log</logFileLocation>.

is this enough or should we do anything else?
Because no file is created.
The file is created only when it crash?
Do you have documentation about the adxloader?

Stan,

You can create a new add-in and see the default settings for the loader. Say, I've got this in the manifest file of a newly created add-in project: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <assemblyIdentity name="MyAddin138, PublicKeyToken=aa1abe4969249cb5" />
  <loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="true" privileges="administrator" configFileName="App.config" />
</configuration>


The manual describes your options, see the section "Add-in Express Loader Manifest" in {Add-in Express}\Docs\adxnet.pdf on your PC. The default location of the log file is [My ]Documents\Add-in Express\adxloader.log of the user profile where the host application is run.

The log file is created when your add-in is being loaded by the host application. That is, if the log file is not created you need to check if your add-in is enabled or not.
