I did install add in express 9. (and also uninstall/reboot/reinstall, tried to change signing options etc).
When click on "Add-in Express context menu > Register" the code is compiled without error but nothing is registerd in Outlook, urgent help needed !

Where can I find info to understand why it's not registering nothing ?

Hello Thomas,

I suppose you start your Visual Studio IDE via the Run as administrator command; please confirm.

Move any custom code from the constructor of the add-in module to an event handler of the AddinInitialize or OnRibbonBeforeCreate event. One of these events is the very first event that your add-in receives. Which one occurs first depends on things external to your add-in.

In the same way, move declarations of all class-level complex-type variables (e.g. SomeSuperDuperType myVar = null) to the same event.

I did found the problem (but it was very frustrating to not have better info...)
The Loader folder in my project was empty, I did copy the files from Redistrubtables in Program Files x86/ Add in express
