Hi,

I have a com add-in for Word. The installation seems to go with no problems, but when I start Word, the add-in isn't loaded.
When I look in Word's add-in manager, the add-in is unchecked and the Load Behavior says: "Unloaded", laso nothing happens if I check the checkbox.

In Word's Trust Center -> Add-ins, none of the checkboxes are checked.

The same add-in was loaded successfully in Excel.

Here's adxloader's log:

Hello Meidan,

Please check up the list of disabled add-ins. Click the Tools | Trust center... and select the Add-ins tab in the dialog window. Find your add-in in the "Disabled Application add-ins" category at the bottom of the list. Is the add-in listed here?

I'm using office 2007, so I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place.
"Disabled Application add-ins" is not under Trust Center but under Add-ins, and my add-in is there, but as I said when I try to enable it (by selecting the checkbox) nothing happens.

Meidan,

Sorry, I gave you the wrong information. Go to the "Word options" | select the "Add-Ins" tab | select in the combobox at the bottom of the window the "Disabled Items" and press the "Go" button. Then enable your add-in.

Does it help?

It helped.
Any idea why and how an add-in would get disabled?

Good news!

To prevent the add-in from unloading you need to sign the adxloader.dll with a digital signature or adjust the security policy settings.

Hi Meidan,

You can sign the adxloader.dll without sources. Please have a look at the following http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=4169.
