Hello Mishal,

I suggest that you start with checking section Troubleshooting add-in loading, see the PDF file in the folder {Add-in Express}\Docs on your development PC.

Hello Mishal,

The file you sent was generated on 02/20/2019 12:06:47. It doesn't look like the file generated today. Please reinstall your add-in, start Outlook and send me copies of these files:

- %temp%\{AssemblyProduct attribute; see AssemblyInfo}\adxregistrator.log in the profile of the user who runs the installer
- %temp%\{AssemblyProduct attribute; see AssemblyInfo}\adxloader.log in the profile of the user who starts Outlook

If adxloader.log isn't created, please check section "Troubleshooting add-in loading" attentively.

I assume you use loaders 9.2; please confirm.

Hello Mishal,

adxloader.log missing means Office doesn't even try to load your add-in.

Does your add-in show up on the File | Options | Add-ins page? If so, under what heading? If you open the COM Add-ins dialog and click your add-in, what is written at the bottom of the dialog window? Is your add-in listed in the Disabled Items dialog? I strongly recommend that you *attentively* check if any of the items in section "Troubleshooting add-in loading" applies.

Also check if there are any records in system logs and in the antivirus log related to your add-in or its files.

Hello Mishal,

Please open File | Office Account, capture a screenshot showing the version info to the right of the About Outlook button and send it to the support email address; find it in {Add-in Express installation folder}\readme.txt. Please make sure your email contains a link to this topic.

Check that all the registry keys are actually created: check section Locating COM Add-ins in the Registry, see the PDF file in the folder {Add-in Express}\Docs on your development PC, note that some of them are mentioned in the log above.

You can compare the keys on that machine with keys on a test machine. If comparing with your development machine, (1)unregister the add-in project from the IDE, (2) install the add-in and (3) look for the registry keys only after that.
