Hi Guys,
Just wondering where I can start looking as to why my Add-In doesn't register in Outlook 2007.
When I go to run RegSvr32 from the command line my registration fails with the generic 0x80004005 code.
The machine is XP.
The registration is working on Outlook 2003 and Vista fine.
Is there some sort of flag or something that I must set for 2007?
Any initial guidance would be appreciated. Using D2007 and Add-in Express
Version 4.3 (build 406 Public Release)
Cheers,
Paul |

Hi Paul,
It is possible that you get an exception when the add-in module is created. Also, please check if the user may write to the registry; say, your add-in has RegisterForAllUsers=True and the user registering the add-in is a standard user.

The RegisterForAllUsers=False.
I have just installed Outlook2007 on the Vista Machine and the the Dll was included as part of the upgrade and everything worked fine.
I have now unregistered the dll (which failed) and now it won't re-install... |

Hi Paul,

Not sure that I understand you. Does the DLL register fine? Does the DLL falis to unregister? What do you mean by "it won't re-install"?
Can you send us your project for testing? If yes, please find the support e-mail address in readme.txt. Please make sure your e-mail contains a link to this topic.

Hi Andrei,
Project is on it's way. I have just tried a fresh install under Win 7 Machine with Outlook 2007 and have encountered the same issue where the DLL will not register and throws generic code as above.
I have now received it on most platforms with the exception of Vista.
It does however seem quite random. The machines that it failed on when I first raised this, eventually installed the DLL OK. So I am at a loss as to what it is. I have found that the Properties page is quite fiddly. If I change it too much I find that this is what often causes issues with registering and unregistering the dll.
Cheers,
Paul |

Hi Paul,
I cannot build and debug your project because you use the third-party components that I don?Â?Ð?ét have.
But I see that you use the OnCreate/OnDestroy events in your add-in module. Please try to move that code to the OnAddinInitialize and OnAddinFinalize event handlers respectively and retest your project. |

Paul,
I have been fighting this issue myself, although in my case, I can install AddIn Expres fine, but I cannot install my plug-in on another machine...
The error 0x80004005 can be caused for several reasons...
1). Insufficient permission to write to the registry
2). A corrupt registry - check by runnning sfc /scannow
3). The registry may have hit a size limit. Certain apps use a lot of registry entries, and there is a default max on this.
4). Not installing as Administrator
5). On startup, having DB components connected automatically.
Good luck,
George Spears |

2 All,
I've re-opened the thread to add the following info from Paul:
Hi Dmitry,
I tried to post back to this thread but it has been locked.
Your comments re:
..."But I see that you use the OnCreate/OnDestroy events in your add-in module. Please try to move that code to the OnAddinInitialize and OnAddinFinalize event handlers respectively and retest your project. "...
have corrected the issues. Could you please add to that Forum in case any others experience that issue.
Apologies it has taken a while to come back to you.
Thanks and cheers,
Paul
Thank you, Paul!
