Problems after upgrade to Addin Express beta 2

We recently upgraded to Beta 2 (because we now use VS2015) and even if the project loads, there are plenty of irregularities in the project:

-We are unable to debug the project (No external program is configured in the properties)
-The AddinModule icon is no longer the colored icon. But the designer loads properly
-Register (using the right-click menu over the project) no longer register the project

I also have to make notice that I had to manually update the references (AddinExpress.MSO.2005 and AddinExpress.Ol.2005) manually.

Hope you can help me with this issues

Hello Luis,

You can set that property yourself?

Will this go away if you restart the PC?

Did you have to do this once? Make sure AddinExpress.* references in your project have the Copy Local property set to false.

Q1 - Id set up the property myself. Do it have to have some extra parameter? or just the location of the outlook exe file?

Q2 - No, still with no fancy icon http://grab.by/KSx6

Q4 - I had one in CopyLocal = true. I moved back to false

After doing what you suggested on Q3 it worked!!!

Thank you so much for your fast response!

Just a remark for Q2 - this is how VS 2012/2013/2015 display controls (which is what AddinModule is) - metro style. It's not up to ADX to set this. You might find some skins/themes for VS that can change this, but I don't think this is an Add-Express issue per-se.

Thank you, Nir!

Hello Luis,

#1. The path to the Office application; please see e.g. section Step #16 ?Â?Ð?ã Debugging the COM Add-in, in the PDF file in the folder {Add-in Express}\Docs on your development PC.

#2. Visual Studio uses icons of their own.

let me add to this thread that the addin doesnt register properly it self, as i have mentioned in my other thread, but also the addin most of the time, if it registers in office 2016, word, excel, access, doesn't load!

i always have to go to word/excel, etc option addin manage and load them, and if i restart the ap the addin doesnt load again....

i hope we get a stable release for full office 2016 support soon! :(

Hello John,

I'm almost 100% sure your issue don't belong to the product.
