Dear friend,
Please help me with this rooic question!
Symptoms:
After I create a ClickTwice installer and publish install files, and test to install. The installer creation process is normal, and the installation process is normal as well, but when I open the Excel, there is no tab add-in and no select option in .COM addin dialog box.
What I did:
I followed the ClickTwice installer tutorial closely, read through both Youtube videos and followed each step. After building the installer, I tried to install this addin on two desktops, which are all "failed"(no addin appears in Excel).
I have checked the adxloader.log and adxregistrator.log files, showing no problem, log files attached below.
When I use project "Register" method and straight click "Debug" to run my application in the Visual Studio are all worked.
Please help me to find what am I missing, thanks!

Hello Tom,
The only glitch is the adxregistrator.log saying the installer was run elevated. Why it's so? I suppose this shouldn't be of importance but there always is a tad of uncertainty.
The title of your topic suggests you have a COM add-in and an Excel add-in, correct? If so, the two logs don't mention the Excel add-in at all.
I wonder if you have the add-in registered using the IDE. If so, uninstall the add-in and unregister it, make sure the add-in is missing in the UI of the host application, and register or install the add-in anew.
If the add-in is unregistered and uninstalled, does registering it shows the Ribbon tab it creates when you start the host?

Hi Andrei,
Thanks for the quick response!
Firstly I tested a demo Excel add-in application and went through the installer building and installation process, it all went well.
After reading through a couple of related articles, especially create-modular-addin-office ,I realized that in my original project I set the [assembly: ComVisible(true)]
to the false inside of the project's AssemblyInfo.cs file. Could this be the causing issue?
To be honest, I did a control test on the demo project, which set the ComVisible to the false, and the installation process went through again.
So is it possible that ComVisible and registration for COM interop could indeed cause bugs in my situation? And in the original project, I use third party UI controls, could this be an issue too?
Thank you and looking forward to your reply!
Tom |

Hello Tom,
[assembly: ComVisible(true)]
ComVisible must be set to true. Changing it to false obviously caused this issue.

Now I get it, thank you for your help!
Apart from this configuration in the installation process, why does the debugging and project register inside of visual studio worked just fine?
Thanks again!

Hello Tom,
The add-in can't register if ComVisible is false. Maybe your add-in project was registered before that?
