The OutlookApp is null during Uninstall. I'm trying to grab the MAPIOBJECT... 


    public override void UninstallControls()
    {
        var blah = AddinModule.CurrentInstance.OutlookApp.Session.MAPIOBJECT;
    }

    public override void UninstallControls()
    {
        var blah = AddinModule.CurrentApp.Session.MAPIOBJECT;
    }

Hello Eric,

I should have been more explicit in my last message in your other topic: You need to use the BeforeUninstallControls and/or AfterUninstallControls events of the add-in module. In this case the original UninstallControls will start the host application and invoke the event(s) passing them the application object.

When you override UninstallControls, you can't get AddinModule.CurrentApp: it isn't set because the module is created by adxregistrator.exe, not by Office.
