Hi,

I am working on a Outlook ADX Addin. I added a setup project for the same. When I try and build the release. The error I have is this. I looked at a new ADXAddin project and made sure all files it references are present.
I made sure the adxregistrator.exe is at the given location.

Can someone guide me on what am I missing out.

Hello Jatin,

We've never been reported about such an issue. I suggest that you google for a solution. The page I've found may or may not relate to your case: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22403650/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-system-net-http-formatting-or-one-of-its-depen. Your googling may be better than mine.

Hello Jatin,

It looks like you pass wrong parameters to adxregistrator.exe. Find correct parameters in the Add-in Express manual. If this doesn;t help, provide the complete adxregistrator.log.

Hi Andrie,

Thanks for the help. Looks like when I removed the custom actions and re-added, I missed adding the right params that are needed.

Thanks,
