Loading SecurityManager causes re-installation

I have installed my addin using the setup project in Visual Studio on a Client machine. The setup file registers the secman.dll and a AutomationInterface which is called from an ActiveX component. Through debug code I can see that when the code is trying to load the SecurityManager, 
AddinExpress.Outlook.SecurityManager manager = new AddinExpress.Outlook.SecurityManager();

the installation begins. If I let this continue or cancel the operation the code is completed as expected.

Hi Michael.

Did you include the SecurityManager.dll assembly in the setup project?
Do run the application under the same system account which you have used to install the application?

Hi Sergey

Thanks. This worked.

Now I have another problem. The method that uses the SecurityManager fails the second time it is called.

The error is:
Courier

The Code: 
[FONT=Courier]
      public void NewEMail(...)
      {
          Trace.WriteLine("NewEmail");
          Trace.WriteLine("  Instanciate SecurityManager");
          AddinExpress.Outlook.SecurityManager manager = new AddinExpress.Outlook.SecurityManager();
          Trace.WriteLine("  Get Outlook.ApplicationClass");
          Outlook.Application OutlookApp = new Outlook.ApplicationClass();
          Outlook.MailItem mail = null;
          try
          {
              if (OutlookApp != null)
              {
                  Trace.WriteLine("  Connecting to " + OutlookApp.Name);
                  manager.ConnectTo(OutlookApp);
                  manager.DisableOOMWarnings = true;
                  Trace.WriteLine("  Creating item");
                  mail = (Outlook.MailItem)OutlookApp.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);

                  mail.Subject = subject;

                  ...

                  Trace.WriteLine("  Displays E-mail");
                  mail.Display(false);
              }
          }
          catch (Exception ex)
          {
              LoggingManager.Log(ex);
          }
          finally
          {
              if (manager != null)
              {
                  manager.DisableOOMWarnings = false;
                  manager.Dispose();
              }
              if (mail != null)
                  Marshal.ReleaseComObject(mail);

              if (OutlookApp != null)
                  Marshal.ReleaseComObject(OutlookApp);


          }

      }[/FONT]

Hi Michael.

Please try to create a global instance of the SecurityManager class once and use this reference in the method. I think it should help.

Should I Connect and disconnect every time I uses it? or only connect once in the ctor?

It works. I do not dispose the SecurityManager object and I connect every time I uses the object.

Thanks alot.

Michael, you can connect once. You just need to disable and enable the security in the method.
