A customer is having problems getting our addin deployed on their machine. The client machine has windows 8.1, office 2013. Our addin contains a COM addin and an XLL combined into one.

The error they're getting is:

The file format and extension of 'adxloader64.Vena.dll' don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe. Unless you trust its source, don?Â?Ð?ét open it. Do you want to open it anyway?

It appears to be trying to load our XLL addin as a workbook when excel opens and we see all the binary gibberish as excel thinks it's a workbook...

The adxloader log seems fine:

Hello Chris,

I suppose something was deployed and/or registered incorrectly. I suggest that you re-check your setup project. I would also create a new setup project for a new add-in project; if the new add-in gets installed correctly, you can compare the projects.
