hi,

My development environment is hosed.

screenshot: http://imgur.com/N8pwS

while developing my toolbar, i've somehow ruined IE GUI that I use for development. I used the Microsoft Fixit Tool to ensure I removed the setup.msi-installed ver sion (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651/). I also unregistered the toolbar in Visual Studio.

I do not see my toolbar when I start IE, but other IE toolbars are black. how can i fix this? i'm willing to do anything short of reinstalling windows (that would take too long because i'd also have to re-install all fix packs, Visual Studio, etc).

windows xp, IE 8.


thank you,
orange

Hi Orange,

Please try to uninstall IE8 completely, restart WinXP and install IE8 again. It should help.
Also, you will need to install all the latest updates for WinXP.

Hi Eric,

You can disable all other plugins in the Manage Add-ons dialog window. Also you can re-install Internet Explorer (see the Control Panel applet in Windows). Which way do you prefer?

Well, the problem is gone. Thanks, guys, for the help! but now when I register my toolbar, i get this error in Visual Studio: 

Error	1	Cannot register assembly [removed] Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Looks like other peopl in the forums report this problem, too. They talk about looking in an ADX logfile in My Documents. But the two files there haven't been touched since yesterday (timestamp). Is there somewhere else to look for more information about this?

thanks,
Mr. Orange P. Roughy.

Hi Eric,

Do you have any applied code in the toolbar module ctor? Or any static fields?

Removing the code in the ctor fixed it. How do I add onConnect handler?

I found it by searching the forums: 

this.OnConnect += new AddinExpress.IE.ADXIEConnect_EventHandler(this.IEModule_OnConnect); 
private void IEModule_OnConnect(object sender, int threadId) { }
