Hello, me again.
I am configuring a new computer and having a problem with a COM add-in not showing up when Debugging.
This project is many year old and has always worked properly on my previous computer. I have move my hard drive from my old computer to the new one, so the entire solution is exactly the same.
The project contains both an XLL and a COM Add-ins.
In Visual Studio, I have run Add-in Express > Register and when I run Excel, both Add-ins are loaded correctly and everything works fine.
However, when I debug from VS, Excel starts, the XLL add-in is loaded, but not the COM Add-in.
I'm looking for help to fix this.
Thank you. |

Comparing the adxloader.log from a regular Excel run and a debug run, I can see that the Debug run is ran as administrator:
Run 'As Administrator': Yes
Process Elevated: Yes
Integrity Level: High
which makes sense since VS is running as administrator.
Then I can see that it loads the XLL, but it never even tries to load the COM Add-in. It just ends with:
15:28:12:363 3696 20988 The instance of the managed XLL class has been created successfully.
15:28:12:363 3696 20988 Forwarding xlAutoOpen to the managed code.
15:28:12:450 3696 20988 Success.
15:28:16:316 3696 20988 Forwarding xlAutoClose to the managed code.
15:28:16:317 3696 20988 Success.

Hello Pierre,
Uninstall your add-in, if it is installed. Then unregister it; start Excel to make sure there's no trace of your add-in in the UI. Then Register the project anew and start debugging it.

Hello Andrei,
The add-in is not installed.
I did what you suggest many times with no success. If i run excel as administrator, i get the same behavior: The XLL it's loaded but not the COM add-in. As a regular user everything works fine. |

Hello Pierre,
Create a new empty add-in project, register it, make sure that it loads and compare its settings with your add-in.
Also, make sure that your add-in project and setup project follow suggestions in section Deploying a per-user Office extension via an MSI installer; see the PDF file in the folder {Add-in Express}\Docs on your development PC.
