I have an Add-in in which I have a Custom Task Pane. The Add-in runs fine, but when I create the installer using the Add-In Express menu command and then try and run the installer on a system. It throws following exception...

Hello Kristian,
Make sure you've specified a correct name in the ADXTaskPane.ControlProgId property. Does any problem show itself in adxloader.log or adxregistrator.log?

I mentioned earlier that the Add-In runs fine, when we run it from Visual Studio, but when I create an installer and then install and run it. It won't work... |

Ah, that's my fault. Please forgive me.
Is that ProgID registered with HKCU or HKLM? In the 32bit or 64 bit registry? What is the bitness of your Office application?

I have not modified the setup in any way to add any registry keys, because I created that setup using the Add-in Express menu. What do you mean by "bitness". If you mean 32 bit or 64 bit. I have created the installer under "x86", which is default... |

Do I need to manually add registry keys for the Class ID ? or just modify the setup using some builtin command ? I am trying using RegAsm.exe, but am unable to get any value from WIX Property [NETFRAMEWORK40FULLINSTALLROOTDIR]
. Can you guide me a bit of where I am wrong ? |

Hello Kristian,
I would like to access your PC remotely. Is this possible? If yes, I suggest using TeamViewer; in this case you'll need to send me your session ID and password to the support email address; see {Add-in Express installation folder}\readme.txt. Please make sure your email contains a link to this topic.

After a long discussion with Andrei and a remote Login using TeamViewer. Andrei was able to find out the exact issue.
The issue was that my User Control was in a separate assembly and although I had made that User Control to be ComVisible, I still had to add custom actions for the assembly which was hosting my user control.
When Add-in Express creates the setup, it adds the Custom Actions for the Add-in Project only. I think there should be a wiki/docs article for this on Add-in Express as well as others might face the same issue on their machines. |

Hello Kristian,
Thank you for the comment.
To All. The custom action in question was adxregistrator.exe. We will provide a description of how to handle such a scenario in the manual.
