Hi,
this time I have a strange problem: I wrote an Outlook-AddIn. I made a setup with the advanced installer ... everything is fine. Installation works. Outstart starts and shows the add-in. (I registered the dll with a 'custom action')

Now I made lots of source-code changes. Debugmode from VisStudio works fine with outlook. Registration from visStuiod etc. works fine.

If I replace the old dll with my new one and if I make a new setup, the registration while doesn?t work. In the registrationlog is no error shown (looks like the log from the dll-version before).

If i register the dll manually from a cmd (as admin) everything works fine. The log from the adxregistrator looks equal.

Oh: I created the dll for using in LocalMachine (yes: adxregistrator with privileges=admin, RegisterForAllusers=True at properties)

I can?t get my setup running with my new dll (the old works fine) .. any ideas what?s my problem?

Bernd

Hello Bernd,

It looks like you deploy the old DLL. Check the DLL's properties the add-in installation folder.

Hi,
i checked it. Also my installer show me the version of the dll. It?s the correct dll. Install manual works fine (the dll at the target computer after install is also the correct version)

Did you switch from a per-machine add-in to per-user one? Also, the installer creates an adxregistrator.exe by default; can you check if it gets created? Does it contain any issues?

In mit "Advanced Installer" Setup I use Installation type: per-machine only(fails if user is not administrator)

--> I use this on both dll?s the old working and the new not-working one.

My installer create no exe. I guess you mean: adxregistrator.log ?! I see nothing wrong and if I compare it to the one from the setup with the working dll, there are no differences ...

Here?s the content (some *** added ;-) ) :

Hello Bernd,

Thank you. That's exactly what I wanted.

Normally, the registrar's log ends as follows:


15:48:14 0560 Unwrapping the instance of the 'AddinExpress.Deployment.ADXRegistrator' class.
15:48:14 0560 Success.
15:48:14 0560 Calling the managed registration procedure (DISPID = 1610743823).

15:48:14 1036 64 bits. The 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\AddIns\{add-in name}.AddinModule' registry key was created successfully for the '{add-in name}.AddinModule' class: LoadBehavior=3
15:48:14 1036 64 bits. The 'HKCU\CLSID\{SomeGUID}\InprocServer32' registry key was created successfully for the '{add-in name}.AddinModule' class: {profile}\AppData\Local\Default Company\{add-in name}\adxloader64.dll
15:48:14 0560 Registration success.
15:48:14 0560 The add-in registration process is completed with HRESULT = 0.


I wonder if a new empty add-in project with a new Advanced Installer setup project produces a similar output.

Also, please open your project, expand the References section, select AddinExpress.MSO.2005, and look in the Properties window: what Add-in Express build number do you have in the Version property? Do you have that AddinExpress.MSO.2005.DLL version in the installation folder of your add-in?

I checked it 9.2.4635.0 is the version in visStudio. It?s the version in the build-dir I made and after the setup, it?s the version in the add-in dir of the target pc ...

In the code of the add-in module there are two methods having these attributes:

    <ComRegisterFunctionAttribute()> _
    Public Shared Sub AddinRegister(ByVal t As Type)
        AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.ADXRegister(t)
    End Sub
 
    <ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute()> _
    Public Shared Sub AddinUnregister(ByVal t As Type)
        AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.ADXUnregister(t)
    End Sub


        [ComRegisterFunctionAttribute]
        public static void AddinRegister(Type t)
        {
            AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.ADXRegister(t);
        }
 
        [ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute]
        public static void AddinUnregister(Type t)
        {
            AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule.ADXUnregister(t);
        }


Please confirm that you have them in the current add-in version and in the previous add-in version.

If you confrim, we would need to have an example reproducing the issue: I've run out of ideas.
