During registering an Outlook add-in in Visual Studio via right-click in "Solution Explorer" → "Add-in Express" → "Register", I get the following sequence of dialogs:
Then after some time this appears:
When clicking the blue "add-in-express-package-log.txt", my text editor opens and displays:
I.e. the log file simply does not exist. I've also let https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon run in the background while doing these steps and see no file activity for a file called "add-in-express-package-log.txt", too.
The Outlook add-in was first developed in 2012 and then sucessfully upgraded to the always latest Add-in Express version ever since.
On the other hand, registering a newly created Outlook add-in following https://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-outlook-addins.php works successfully.
My question:
How to further investigate (and finally solve) the erroneous registration process? |

Hello,
Please look for add-in-express-package-log in c:\Windows\System32\.

You can reproduce the issue if you throw an exception within the c'tor of the ADXAddinModule-derived class.
[GuidAttribute("727366D9-6BAA-4BB1-A5FF-EAEA8E67FDD9"), ProgId("MyAddin1.AddinModule")]
public partial class AddinModule : AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule
{
public AddinModule()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
InitializeComponent();
throw new Exception("This exception will prevent registration, though you never will find out since no log will be written.");
}
In my case an (indirect) exception was the cause, although I do not know until now, why the method I call from the c'tor actually throws.
Thus, an actual existing error log would really help. |

Hello,
Thank you for the idea. It helped me to find the log on my machine: I've found it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\.log". We will fix this bug in the next Add-in Expres build.
