(This is a continuation of this http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=11368, I never got back to Sergey, sorry).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open VS (2010 in my case)
2. Create new ADX XLL Add-in
3. Set it for Office 2010
4. In the project (MyXllAddin1) right cliekc and add a folder (solution explorer), call it Test
5. In a new VS create a simple winform application with nothing in it (i.e. only generated code), set the .NET framework to 4 for that project
6. Copy the exe from the previous step into the MyXllAddin1/test folder so it'll look something like this:

User added an image

7. Set the exe's build action as Content and copy Always
8. build your Xll Addin
9. the bin/debug would like something like that:

User added an image

10. Right click the project and click Publish (ClickOnce deployment). Make sure that the exe in its folder is included in the files
11. setup a network location and certificate and publish the project, copy the setup.exe along with the .application and folder (1.0.0.0) to the network location
12. attempt to install the add-in from the network location
13. observe the error

In this case the error is as follow (obfuscated network path):

Hi Nir,

Does the SampleForm.exe assembly have a strong name? Please check it in properties of the WinForm project.

Thanks Sergey (sorry about the delay in my initial response...)
It wasn't signed. I then signed the SampleForm project and re-added it to the add-in project but still getting an error when installing it:

Nir, did you re-populate files in the Publish wizard?

Also, please try to delete the 'Publish' directory in your project and publish the project again.

Yes, I did all that (you can even see I've incremented the addin version so the output is 1.0.0.1 and not 1.0.0.0 as before, but I've also deleted the entire publish folder beforehand). Are you able to install the add-in (following the steps I've provided) without a problem?

Hi Nir,

I managed to reproduce the issue. To fix it please open the Security tab of the Properties dialog in the Windows Application project and enable the 'Enable ClickOnce security settings' option. Then you need to re-build the win app project and re-publish the XLL add-in.

It works perfectly. Such a simple solution.
Thank you so much Sergey!
