Problem: Registering ADX project during development

Hi!

I'm using Add-In-Express .Net Version 2.7 with MS Visual Studio 2003 and Win XP SP2 + Laast fixes.

I have a problem with registering ADX project during development.
Whenever i try to register my project i get the following error message:

"Registering of a COM-Interop failed. Could not find a type library for assembly 'AddinExpress.MSO'." (translated from german language)

But after all i get a MessageBox saying "The ADX project registration succeeded."

While testing my Outlook-AddIn it stops working.

If i create a Setup-Project all works fine. But it takes so much time for each little changes reinstall the addin and configure all neccessary options.

Reinstalling AddIn-Express including registry cleanup did not solve the problem. Maybe there's something wrong with the GAC ?

Any ideas ?

Thank you for your help!

Ciao,
Thomas Guenther

Hi Thomas.

Does the add-in project refers to the AddinExpress.MSO.dll assembly located in the ADX installation folder in a local directory?
Also please check the 'Copy Local' property of the AddinExpress.MSO assembly in the References of the add-in project. It should be set to False.

Hi Sergey!

Yes, the add-in project refers to the AddinExpress.MSO.dll assembly located in the ADX installation folder in a local directory and the 'Copy Local' property is set to False. I tested this behaviour wit some of the provided examples of Add-In-Express and all worked fine. So there must be something wrong with my project setup. I removed AddinExpress.MSO.dll from my dependencies and added it afterwards without success in solving the problem.

Ciao,
Thomas

Hi Sergey!

Sorry for my late answer. I was very busy these days...

Yes the issue still exists. I created a new project today and copied all my files into it but i get still the same error while registering the ADX project for debugging.

Now i get a further error message saying "An invocation target has thrown an exception" (translated from german) with an AddinExpress.Wizard title in message window.

Unfortunatly it's impossible for me to see if i misconfigured one or more necessary libraries or if there's a problem with registering AddinExpress.MSO itself.

Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas.

Do you have any code in the constructor of the addimodule?

Hi Sergey,

Yes i'm doing some initializations in the default constructor...

I commented them out and did a recompile. Afterwards i tried to register the addin again but without success.

Hi Thomas.

Please try the following:
1. Create a new project with the same name but in another location.
2. Move the current code to the new project.
3. Register the project.
