Problem registering AddinModule for Word
AddinModule registers with installutil.exe but does not show in Word

Hey, I am writing an addin for Microsoft Word. I am having trouble running the addin module when trying to install the software onto another PC.

On my dev PC it works absolutely fine. I register the addin using installutil.exe and I am using AddinExpress.MSO.2005.dll. My addin also works fine when I use it other dev PC's but not when I try to install it on a clean PC?

My addin registers but then when I try to run it doesn't work. The Macros is set to low and it is not present in the disabled items?

Any ideas?

Thanks, Guy

Hi Guillaume.

Did you install the 'Shared Add-in Support Update for .NET Framework v2.0' prerequisite on the clean PC?

Have sorted the problem! I needed a Winword.exe.config file to tell Word what version of the .NET framework it can work with.

Thanks for your help and quick reply,

Guillaume

Ok, but please remember that the config file can prevent other managed add-ins from loading if they are written for different version of the .NET Framework.
