Hello,

We have distributed our add-in to various users but we are unable to install it on one particular computer.

Here is the adxinstaller log:
=====================================================================
Add-in Express Loader Log File: 10/08/2008 09:26:09

Startup directory: Loader version: 4.0.1902C:\Program Files\OurApp\MicrosoftAddIn\
------------------
09:26:09 152 Starting the add-in registration process.
09:26:09 152 Loading the latest CLR version.

09:26:10 152 The add-in registration process is complete with HRESULT = -2147024809.
======================================================================

Here are the contents of the adxloader manifest file:

<configuration>
<assemblyIdentity name="ApplicationAddin, PublicKeyToken=realkeyhere" />
<loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="true" privileges="administrator" />
</configuration>
======================================================================

These are the screenshots of the error when we attempt to manually regsvr32:

If anyone can provide any insight as to why adxloader.dll won't register correctly, we would be greatly appreciative!

Thanks,
Ryan

Hello Ryan,

Is the target PC up to date?

I would recommend you to install the latest build of Add-in Express (it includes a new version of the adxloader.dll).

Hi Eugene,

We are using 4.2.464.2005, atleast that is the version of the AddinExpress.ToolbarControls.2005.dll file.

However, adxloader.dll is version 4.0.1902.0. How would I go about updating that dll (it was added when the project was first created)?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

You can download the latest build of Add-in Express http://www.add-in-express.com/downloads/index.php.

Then replace the adxloader.dll in the Loader folder of your project with a new one from the Redistributables folder (see Add-in Express installation folder).

Hi Eugene,

I will give this a try and let you know how it goes. I do still have one question however.

I am puzzled as to why regsvr32 works on all other computers in this office yet doesn't work on this one computer.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Eugene,

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand your question (I realize that you have asked it multiple times now). Are you asking if windows is up to date with service packs, etc? Or, add-in express (which, as previously mentioned, isn't the latest version).

As for system itself. It is Windows XP SP3, and Office 2003 SP3.

Is that the information you are looking for?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Yes. Thank you.

Please check up the following flag:

In Control Panel | System | Advanced | Performance | Settings | Data Execution Prevention, choose the " ... for essential Windows programs and services only" flag.

Please let me know whether the latest build of Add-in Express helps or not. Don't forget to replace the adxloader.dll.
