I truly hope someone can help me. I tested this change for the way we send emails on Outlook 2000 - 2010 32bit with no issue and the first test that QA does and it goes boom. It dies after seeing Step-10 and Step-5 is never seen. Here's the code:
[CODE]
Dim olApp As Object


Dim OlType As Type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Outlook.Application", False)
Try
olApp = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Outlook.Application")
Catch
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-1")
End Try

Try
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-2")
If (olApp Is Nothing) Then
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-3")
olApp = Activator.CreateInstance(OlType)
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-4")
End If
Catch
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-5")
End Try

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-6")

Dim email As Object 'Outlook.MailItem
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-7")
email = olApp.CreateItem(0)
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-8")
Dim SecurityManager As Object
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-9")
SecurityManager = New AddinExpress.Outlook.SecurityManager
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-10")

SecurityManager.ConnectTo(olApp)
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-11")
SecurityManager.DisableOOMWarnings = True
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-12")
Try

email.Recipients.Add(EmailAdd)
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-13")
email.Subject = Subject
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-14")
email.Body = Body
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-15")
email.Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath, 1)
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-16")
email.Send()
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Step-17")
Catch ex As Exception
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString())
Finally
SecurityManager.DisableOOMWarnings = False
SecurityManager = Nothing
email = Nothing
olApp = Nothing
End Try

Hi,

Could you please answer the following questions:

1. What version of Outlook Security Manager do you use?
2. Do you have secman.dll registered on the PC?
3. Do you get any exception in the line right after Step-10? (SecurityManager.ConnectTo(olApp))
4. Do you use this code in a background thread?

Hi,

1. The verions of Outlook Security Manager is 1.2.1703.21569
2. Secman.dll is not registered. secman64.dll is registered
3. The error actually happens on line SecurityManager.ConnectTo(olApp)
4. This is part of a vb.net dll and is referenced as needed.

Thanks,
George

Hi George,

The verions of Outlook Security Manager is 1.2.1703.21569

You use an outdated version of Outlook Security Manager. Please note that version 1.2.1703.21569 doesn't support Outlook 2007 - 2010.

Secman64.dll was added in version 2010 of Outlook Security Manager. So, can please specify what version of Outlook Security Manager you actually use?

Secman.dll is not registered. secman64.dll is registered

If you use Outlook 2000 - 2010 32bit you need to register secman.dll, you need to have secman64.dll registered only for Outlook 2010 64bit.
Please try to register secman.dll. You can use the regsvr32 utility for this:
regsvr32 "<path to secman.dll>"
Did it help?

So, it seems this is a version issue with securitymanager.dll. What version of SecurityManager.dll should I be using?
