Hi,

I have created an project for Add-In Express for IE and compiled the application successfully but I have discovered that when I run the setup program the is created with the Add-In Express project, the files are copied to the machine but the DLL is not registered!

I was expecting the DLL to register in a similar way to the register ADX from the context menu when you click on the solution. Have I missed a setting somewhere, or do I have to write this part myself. If so how?

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Peter,

I've created a sample add-on, built the setup project and installed it on my PC. It works fne for me. It looks like you missed something.

Hi,

I'm still having problems with the setup application, I have built the setup program both automatically and manually and tried it on several machines. I can't seem to make it work.

The setup routine runs perfectly and completes, but when I open the context menu on IE the option isn't there, adding the code manually to the registry sets up the menu item but then won't run the add in. I guess because it's not registered.

I really need to get this one resolved so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Pete

Hello Pete,

Do you use Vista?

No,

I haven't yet tested it on Vista, I am using Windows XP Service Pack3 (I have also tested it on Service Pack 2 and it still didn't work)

Cheers

Pete,

I can create a sample add-on solution and send it to you by e-mail so that you can see any difference. Will this do?

Pete,

Did you install it "Just for me"? Try installing for "All users on that PC".

I've just sent you the solution. Please tell me about your results.

Hi,

I tried the solution that you sent and I couldn't get it to load in Visual Studio 2008. Would it be possible for you to send me a zipped compiled version of the setup routine, at least then I can establish whether setup routines will run on my machine and work. This way I can tell if it's my machine or not.

I really need to get this sorted before your holiday!!!
