Hello Sylvain,

Please make sure you deploy all the interop assemblies used in your add-in project.

Hi Sylvain,
I am facing the same issue as you. The issue occurs on PC's that used to work perfectly, even with out any updates to my add-in. It started occuring on a few machines a couple of weeks ago.
This is what I have found out from what is happening for my add-in:

The issue occurs under these conditions:

1. The add-in is installed with elevanted priviliges (administrator), so that one installation on the PC installs for all users
2. My Office installation is from Office 365 (it does not seem to happen with standard Office Professional 2016 installations - have not tested Office 2019 yet)

When the add-in is first installed, it works perfectly. After a (short, for instance a day) period of time, it will throw an error when the add-in loads, with some of the core components missing.
I can get it to work with one of these methods:

1. If I uninstall and then install again it works.
2. If I repair my Office 365 installation it works.

But after a (again short) period of time, it will fail once more.

I have also found, that if I run my Office app as administrator, the add-in works perfectly at all times.

So to me it looks as if there has been some update to Office 365 and how it relates to priviliges, but eatly what is happningen I do not know.
I will try creating a MSI package that runs in user mode, to see if that changes anything, but have not have had time to do so yet.

Regards
Thomas

Do you deploy that interop assembly?

Hi Andrei, Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your answers. I do ship the assemblies with my addin. It does work for all my others customers in many differents configurations.

I will try to ask my customer to repair his office and see if the problem goes away.

Best regards
Sylvain.

Hello Sylvain and Thomas,

This issue may relate to Office being updated right in this moment. We suggest that you 1) use embedded interops (in this case you don't need to deploy the interop assemblies) and 2) run the .NET Framework Repair Tool on that machine.
