Environment: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.18363 / .Net 4.7.2 / VS2017 15.9.21 / adxnet-v904-b4644 / Excel 64bit 16.0.12624.20278
I can't debug my addin project, it doesn't load from Visual Studio.
Here's what I'm doing to reproduce
- Unregister addin from VS, just to be sure, it disappears from the registry (Microsoft/Office/16/Excel...)
- Register addin from VS. Addin appears in registry as expected, LoadBehavior=3.
*NO* Adxregistrator.log produced!
- Start Excel. Addin loads, everything's OK

Addin continues to work from Excel but as soon as I try to debug it reverts to LoadBehavior=2, silently.
Now I've probably done something wrong (it worked last week); any ideas on how to determine what's wrong would be most welcome. |

Hello Maurice,

This is expected: adxregistrator.exe isn't used when you register the add-in from the Visual Studio IDE.

Can it be that you use the Microsoft Store version of Office? Have a look at https://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2019/02/27/office-from-store-issues/.
Make sure you start VS via the Run as administrator option when registering the add-in. Make sure Excel started non-elevated when using the way that you typically use to start it.
Also, you don't need to start adxregistrator.exe elevated to register a per-user add-in: user permissions should be enough.

Still can't get it to load from VS debug (but attaching the debugger to an excel with the addin running works fine).
- Elevated or not doesn't seem to change anything
- Runtime version checked
- Definitely not MS Store
When starting from VS2017 debug, Excel seems to open the addin and then almost immediately (in ~8mS) gives up and sets LoadBehavior=2:
How can I diagnose what's happening when launching Excel from VS2017 Debug? |

Thank you for these details.

Does starting Excel to debug the add-in update adxloader.log?
Make sure you don't have your add-in installed. Also, make sure it isn't registered in HKLM.

Thanks for bearing with me on this one Andrei >;-)
- Unregistered from VS2017
- adxregistrator.exe /uninstall="geodesix.dll" /privileges=user (just to be sure)
- Checked nothing left in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins
- Searched registry starting at HKLM, first occurrence of "Geodesix" found in HKUSERS, so nothing in HKLM either
- VS2017 Adx register. No file produced (I'm watching every file with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_(software))
- Start debugging. Excel starts, no addin loaded, no files created, not a sausage
- Reset LoadBehavior=3
- Start Excel, addin loads nicely
- VS2017 attach process, debugging works perfectly

Erm, yes, but there *is* a problem:
When I start debugging from VS2017, the addin doesn't load.
I can indeed debug by attaching the debugger to a running Excel instance, but that's not how it's supposed to work.
When I start debugging in VS2017, the addin doesn't load.
It should.
How can I find out why it doesn't load? |

Hello Maurice,
Ah, I see.

Is adxloader.log updated in this case?

No, adxloader.log is not created when VS2017->Start debug.
Excel starts, no addins, no messages, no files created. VS2017 debugger is running but not attached. |

Is the add-in installed or registered from the IDE?
If both, uninstall and unregister it, start Excel to make sure you have no traces of the add-in in the Excel UI, register it and debug it.
