I wish this wasn't so vague, but:
We have an Addin developed over several years and has been working well. One client has been using it but now is finding it is stopping working and Outlook 2016 (32 bit) just hangs on startup if the Addin has been registered. We know it's registered because it shows up in the splash screen.
It's just this one client who has the problem (so far). 5-6 other clients are using it no problem, and it's also working well for me on my Outlook 2016.
They have tried it on 3 different machines with same results.
We are using the latest (beta) build of v9 that you sent me recently Andrei. Delphi Seattle Enterprise with all patches.
We've tried:
- Disabling Anti Virus
- Adding text file logging to the initialisation code so that we can see how far it gets - but it doesn't get as far as adding the first line
- Removing all Outlook Security Manager code to see if that makes a difference
We have a second add-in which works ok for them - it's just this one Addin. The non-working Addin is database-based, using ADO to connect to a MS SQL database.
Currently stumped. Any ideas welcome, even if they're just how I can get an error message of some kind to give me a clue what's failing. (I see for .NET you have a PDF for trouble-shooting, I can't see it in my VCL folders.)
Thanks
Richard
Note: I realised after posting the subject line is wrong - it's not that it won't install, it just hangs Outlook. But I can't seem to edit the subject line now. |

Hello Richard,
To find out what causes this exception, you should start with an empty add-in. If it doesn't reproduce the issue, check if a component located on the add-in module fires an exception at start-up: put such a component onto the add-in module and check if the issue is reproducible.

Using ProcMon, I have a bit more information on this which I hope somebody smarter than I will be able to diagnose.
When I run ProcMon on my computer, where the Addin works fine, I see a series of messages like this:
On the client's PC, every 5th or 6th entry the "correct" path is replaced with another path, which is PATH NOT FOUND.
It seems to me it's something to do with the way their file system is configured, but this is not a subject I know much about.
Ideas welcome, as always.
Thank you,
Richard |

Hello Richard,
Could you please open File | Office Account and copy here the complete version string that is given just below the caption About Outlook?
For example, I have Version 1901 Build 11128.20000 Click-to-Run.

Ah sorry for the confusion! You've clicked the About Outlook button to find that line? I wrote about the complete version string near that button trying to find if you use Click-to-Run, Microsoft Store or some other Office version.

Above is what I was sent by the client, is that sufficient?
Thanks,

Thank you.
Please check if you get an error message shown behind the splash screen.

Andrei - are there any tips you can suggest for checking this? If it's hidden, I can't see it :-( |
