I am trying to create a new add-in express project for outlook add-in. I am following the steps on the URL below

https://www.add-in-express.com/add-in-net/outlook.php

I am taken through the add-in express wizard, at the end, I am getting message "Project creation Failed" with a dialog box from Visual Studio saying "System Cannot Find the Path Specified. (Exception from HRESULT:0x80070003)

I am using Visual Studio Express 2015.

Please note I have successfully created and developing Office add-ins on the same machine under different projects. Don't know what's the deal this time.

I don't see any logs info in adxloader.log or adxregistrator.log.

Hello Sean,

What Add-in Express build are you using? Hope you start VS via the "Run as administrator" command.

The add-in express version is 8.0.4330 I saw from the control panel (add/remove programs)

The VS is running as administrator.

Hello Sean,

Make sure that the path to the project is less than 255 symbols. I would also check that all folders in the path exist and try to reboot the machine.

Hello Sean,

Choose Help | About on the main menu. In the About dialog, click the Copy Info button; this puts the information from the dialog window to the Clipboard. Please send me that info to the support email address; find it in {Add-in Express installation folder}\readme.txt. Make sure your email contains a link to this topic.

I can create a project and send it to you. I would need to know the programming language that you use. After you open it, you may need to delete and then add a new reference to AddinExpress.MSO.2005. What do you think?
