Outlook COM Add In not loaded when debugging

When starting to debug in Visual Studio I cannot see the add-in tab in Outlook 2019. I then realized that it was not enabled in File -> Options -> Add-Ins -> Manage COM Addins (see Screenshot)

User added an image

As soon as I enabled it, the tab appears and I can start debugging. The problem is, that every time I restart debugging, I have to re-enable the add-in there. How can I avoid this?

Hello Alex,

Re-register the add-in project. Does this help?

If it doesn't, make sure your add-in isn't installed. If it is, unregister your add-in project, uninstall the add-in, start the host application to check if your add-in is still enabled. If the add-in isn't available, register the project.

Thanks for the hints. I found out the the add in was still listed in the screen of the screenshot I posted, even after unregistration and uninstalling of every other installation of it. So I additionally removed it from there as administrator and then, after registering it again from Visual Studio, it worked as expected.

Thanks :)
