Hello Team,

I'm getting an interesting exception message for one user when they start MS Word after installing my add-in.

The exception message they emailed me (listed below) says "PowerPoint version is not defined. SetWordVersion.".
This is interesting because the add-in target MS Word 2007 and higher only.
I checked the SupportedApps and it is only "Word".

The add-in has installed successfully on other PCs.

Any thoughts as to the cause or suggestions where I should look to dig deeper?

with thanks - Marcus

Hello,

PowerPoint mentioned in an exception related to Advanced Word task panes was a mistake in the code of Add-in Express.

The message itself conveys (quite lamely) the idea: you use ADXWordTaskPane (and related classes) in a Word version which isn't recognized by Add-in Express. You need to use an Add-in Express version that supports this Word version.

LOL :) - we've *all* been guilty of that, Andrei!

I've just renewed my subscription, so I will download and update my Add-In Express installation with the latest release and try again.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

All the best - Marcus

Hi Andrei,

Just a quick update; I updated my Add-In Express installation to the latest version and my add-in installed happily with Office 2016.

The Moral of this story: Always keep your subscription and Add-In Expression version up-to-date.

All the best - Marcus
