Previously, I created the top, "Install for All Users using only a WIX-created MSI." I realized that it makes more sense for us to install for only the current user.
Therefore:
1. I've set RegisterForAllUsers=False in the properties of my ADXAddinModule (through the designer)
2. Changes my WiX installer to InstallScope="perUser" and InstallPrivileges="limit"
3. Made the post-build action for the installer project: "{my path}\adxpatch.exe" "$(TargetPath)" /UAC=Off /RunActionsAsInvoker=true
4. And set the command line arguments in the CustomAction as: /install="[INSTALLFOLDER]$(var.Modules.OI.TargetFileName)" /privileges=user
The MSI install runs without invoking a UAC elevation prompt, and reports no error. There is also no error reported by adxregistrator. However, the add-in is not initially visible in any Office application. I can find it under "Options->Add Ins" where it is listed among "Inactive Application Add-ins". I can activate it there, but only temporarily; it is inactive again the next time I launch WORD or OUTLOOK, etc.
I have tried running Adxregistrator in a command prompt, and I see the same result.
I've also searched the registry for my module, and I see each class within it listed in both HKCU and HKCR.
I'll paste the adxregistrator.log below. One thing that looks odd is the "Process Owner: Administrator". I am NOT currently logged on to the machine as Administrator.

Oh... that's new.
I just realized that even the "Register ADX Project" command in the Build menu of Visual Studio fails to activate the add-in. It registers it, but I must still then activate it in each Office program through the Options -> Add Ins menu.
What did I do to my Module ? |

Hello Ira,
Could you please make sure that your add-in is enabled e.g. in Excel, restart Excel and let me see the adxloader.log?
Process Owner: Administrator - this refers to the fact that you are an administrator on the PC.
Run 'As Administrator': No - this shows that you run the installer as a standard user.

As I stated, my AddIn is not initially loaded when I start Outlook, Word, etc., and there is no adxloader.log (at first).
When I load the add in explicitly via the "Options->Add Ins" dialog, a log like the following one is generated.

Hello Ira,
I suppose you need to set LoadBehavior=3 in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\{host}\AddIns\{your add-in ProgID}.
Is this the case?

LoadBehavior=3 is already present in the registry for Excel, Word, and Powerpoint, but not Outlook.
The complete contents of the registry key for our module within Excel, Word, Powerpoint are:
(Default) (value not set)
ADXStartMode FIRSTSTART
CommandLineSafe 0
Description AddinModule
FriendlyName Eclipse Office Integration
LoadBehavior 3
Outlook is the exception; its values are:
(Default) (value not set)
ADXStartMode NORMAL
CommandLineSafe 0
Description AddinModule
FriendlyName Eclipse Office Integration
LoadBehavior 0
Despite these differences, the observable behavior of Outlook and the other applications is the same. The module is not loaded on start-up |

Please note: after unregistering and reregistering the addin, the registry settings for Outlook matched that of the other applications: ADXStartMode = FirstStart, and LoadBehavior = 3. |

I found this article, http://blogs.msdn.com/b/haahmadi/archive/2010/05/26/my-vsto-add-in-does-not-load.aspx, which is valuable primarily in that it includes screenshots from the Options->Add-Ins menu, which I've referenced in prior posts. My add-in is among the "Inactive Application Add-ins" as pictured at the top of item #2 in this blog. It also appears unchecked (with the caption, "Load Behavior: Unloaded") in the COM Add-Ins as pictured at the bottom of item #2. However, no error is displayed. Checking the checkbox here loads my add-in and it works -- but only for the life of the current instance of the Office application.
I also found the following article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386106.aspx, which states that the Manifest entry is required. I don't have one.
Should "Manifest" have been set by adxregistrator? |

Hello Ira,
Thank you for the explanations and pointers. They help.

Please try setting LoadBehavior=3 using regedit, see HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\{host}\AddIns\{your add-in ProgID}.

This manifest is required for VSTO-based add-ins only.

Do you have a single add-in module supporting all these host applications? Or you use several add-in modules in the same assembly? Or you have several assemblies, each representing an add-in supporting a given host?
Do you have LoadBehavior mentioned in the adxloader.dll.manifest file(s)?
