I had my Outlook plugin installed, and while doing some testing, I had it disabled under "Slow and Disabled COM Add-ins".
Then I went and uninstall and try to reinstall the plugin again.
But no matter what I do, it won't register itself with Outlook anymore.
I followed this link and cleaned up the add-in entries: https://www.outlook-apps.com/inactive-outlook-add-ins/
Then I reinstalled the add-in, saw the entries being added back into the registry, but still, Outlook won't see or load the add-in.
I've went to Options > Add-ins, in that last I don't see my add-in being installed (eventhough it did). I also tried to add the add-in manually pointing it directly to the adxloader.dll but still no go.
What do i need to do in order for Outlook to see my add-in again? |

According to the ADX log, it looks like the add-in is loaded, but it won't show up anywhere in Outlook Add-ins nor Options > Add-in.

I've completely reinstalled Office 365, although the add-in now show up under Options > Add-ins, its location is blank.
Any idea? |

Hello (BTW, what is your name?),
Check if your add-in is listed in the Disabled Items dialog. If so, re-enable it.

Hi, my name is Eric.
And I've checked the list. There is nothing that shows up in Outlook 2016 despite the installation went successful... Is not in Options > Add-ins.
I got a few questions on Outlook:
- when Add-in Express gets register into Outlook, where does it supposed to create a registry key?
- when Outlook loads the Add-ins, does it load the adxloader.dll? Or is it supposed to load the Add-in's dll (ex: MyApp.dll)?
- where can I find/enable the start up log in order to troubleshoot potential Outlook start up issues?
I've even uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook, and still can't get it to "see" the Add-in. I'm thinking when I ran CCleaner to clean the registry, it deleted some very old keys that was left over by the old Add-in, this may explain why my Add-in was "working" with some old values without knowing it... now that i've kind a cleaned everything up (unintentionally) it won't load anymore perhaps. |

Check section "Locating COM add-ins in the registry" at https://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-deploying-addins.php.

It loads adxloader.dll (adxloader64.dll). By default, the loader creates adxloader.log. If the log file isn't created, this means Office doesn't even start loading adxloader.dll.
Ah, I've just noticed that you have Process Owner: System in the log file and you install the add-in per-user. You need to check section "Per-User add-in is registered for System user" at https://www.add-in-express.com/docs/troubleshooting-tips.php#per-user-addin.

OH MY GOD. I think that was it, I removed "/privileges=user " from the registration command line. Oh man, it sucks that I wasted over a day on this, and there is nothing shown in ANY logs. Stupid Outlook, it just throws "MyAddIn is not a valid Outlook Addins"!!!! |

@Andrei Smolin, after removing the /privileges=user in the commandline, when I unregister, the adxregistor.exe is now stuck in limbo.
I had to kill it manually in the Task Manager. Thought? |

Hello Eric,
Section Deploying a per-machine Office extension via an MSI installer - see the PDF file in the folder {Add-in Express}\Docs on your development PC - describes the parameters that you need to pass to adxregistrator.exe. I strongly recommend that you check your project against that section.
