adxregistrator: wrong registry entries

Hi,

As of yesterday I updated add-in express for Office and .NET to version 7.7.4087.2005. I noticed that registry entries for the Office add-ins are not created correctly by the adxregistrator process.

I have a solution with two add-in modules, one for Word and one for Powerpoint. Instead of writing a separate registry entry for Powerpoint and Word, the adxregistrator process creates two HKCU registry entries within Powerpoint and none within Word.

After I replaced the new AddinExpress.MSO.2005.dll with an older version the registration worked just fine.

Is there a known issue?

Thanks

Hello Pedram,

Thank you for pointing us to this issue. A workaround is modifying the AddinRegister and AddinUnregister methods of both modules as follows:

Before: 
[ComRegisterFunctionAttribute]
public static void AddinRegister(Type t) {
    AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.ADXRegister(t);
}

[ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute]
public static void AddinUnregister(Type t) {
    AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.ADXUnregister(t);
}


After: 
[ComRegisterFunctionAttribute]
public static void AddinRegister(Type t) {
    AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.CurrentInstance = null;
    AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.ADXRegister(t);
}

[ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute]
public static void AddinUnregister(Type t) {
    AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.CurrentInstance = null;
    AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.ADXUnregister(t);
}
