Hi,
In the development environment, when I run my Outlook add-in in debug mode from Visual Studio 2015, everything works fine and I am able to use my custom app settings from app.config. Following the instructions: https://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-msi-setup-project.php, I have manually created the setup project and as outcome - the .msi package. Installation went correct and my add-in is starting with Outlook, however the custom app settings are not present.
After long investigation and following many topic from this forum I have concluded that there is no problem with the .manifest content file and reference to the .config file but in general with loading of the manifest. As a proof, I removed the adxloader.dll and adxloader.dll.manifest from the list of files to be installed via .msi. This didn't block the plugin from running in my Outlook and obviously the symptom were the same - no config values. So it seems like for my plugin, it doesn't make any difference if those files are in the application folder after installation or not. Is there other default adxloader.dll, that add-in may use?
Thanks and best regards

Hi Pawel,
I think that the .config file is not installed by the setup program. Please check if you added the .config file to the setup project. |

Hi Sergey,
You are right, it doesn't add it to the project automatically. I did that manually and referenced the file name in the .manifest file. I have also tried with different naming conventions like App.config, Project.dll.config or Project.config.
My manifest looks as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<assemblyIdentity name="Office.Apps.Addin, PublicKeyToken=5ecf78d4caff8e6e" imageRuntimeVersion="v4.0.30319" />
<loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="false" privileges="user" configFileName="App.config" />
</configuration>
The list of files in the installation folder:
22.03.2016 18:51 4'044'664 AddinExpress.MSO.2005.dll
01.04.2016 21:41 609'280 adxloader.dll
27.04.2016 17:17 326 adxloader.dll.manifest
01.04.2016 21:41 717'312 adxloader64.dll
19.01.2016 19:51 165'752 adxregistrator.exe
19.04.2016 13:11 760 App.config
05.04.2016 16:58 203'264 Autofac.dll
07.04.2016 16:35 20'992 Autofac.Extras.DynamicProxy2.dll
18.04.2016 11:03 273'408 AutoMapper.dll
07.04.2016 16:35 435'712 Castle.Core.dll
05.04.2016 11:29 940'544 MahApps.Metro.dll
30.03.2016 18:03 43'824 Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Au
30.03.2016 18:03 1'130'264 Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dl
03.02.2010 01:03 1'103'256 Microsoft.IdentityModel.dll
31.08.2012 00:20 59'664 Microsoft.IdentityModel.Extension
15.04.2016 11:24 981'696 Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.
15.04.2016 11:24 64'168 Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.dll
30.03.2016 18:02 520'192 Newtonsoft.Json.dll
27.04.2016 17:17 55'296 Office.Apps.Addin.dll
15.04.2016 11:24 466'640 Office.dll
05.10.2013 03:38 32'408 stdole.dll
30.03.2016 18:02 471'240 System.Web.Http.dll
05.04.2016 11:29 55'904 System.Windows.Interactivity.dll
As I mentioned, the add-in is always working after installation, event when I don't include adxloader.dll and adxloader.dll.manifest. However app settings are never picked up. |

Hi Pawel,
The name of the config file should be <The name of the project assembly>.dll.config, e.g. MyAddin1.dll.config.
Let me know if the issue still exists. |

Hi Sergey,
Unfortunatelly not. I changed the config file name also I tried changing the the filename along with reference in manifest file, but it still seems like .manifest is not being taken into consideration at all. |

Hi Pawel,
Can you please send me a sample project that reproduces the issue? I just can't reproduce it on my PC. |

Hi Pawel,
Thank you.
The add-in will work properly if you set the 'Register' property of the 'Primary output from OutlookAddin (Active)' to 'vsdrpDoNotRegister' in the FileSystem editor of the setup project (it is 'vsdrpCOM' in your setup now). I checked it out. The config file is picked up by the add-in. |
