Build error every other time

I have an Outlook Addin project that is working correctly. However, every other time I build the project, I got the following errors. If I immediately build again, the error goes away and I am able to run the Addin.

The assembly 'AABusinessData, Version=19.162.176.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b02ef47df7b028b1' is not registered for COM Interop. Please register it with regasm.exe /tlb.

"AAOutlookAddin2021.dll" could not be converted to a type library. Type library exporter encountered an error while processing 'CMS.AA.OutlookAddin.DataObjects.OutlookDataObject, AAOutlookAddin2021'. Error: Error loading type library/DLL. AAOutlookAddin2021

What do I need to do to get rid of this error? What does regasm.exe do? Will I have problem in production?

Hello Stephen,

I suppose you also get a warning explaining why AABusinessData is not registered for COM interops. For instance, have a look at https://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=16212&MID=84015.

Changing COM visibility on AABusinessData fixed my build problem.

Thank you
