Hi,

I am getting the following exception after restarting Vista after disabling UAC.

"Error 6 Cannot register assembly "C:\Users\vkothur\Documents\WORD ADD In\DOC Samples\VS 2005\C#\Your First Microsoft Office Add-in\MyAddin1\bin\Debug\MyAddin1.dll" - access denied. Please make sure you're running the application as administrator. Access to the registry key 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MyAddin1.StepThrough' is denied. MyAddin1
"

I have a taskpane with a usercontrol on it. It worked fine all the while and all of a sudden I get this error when I build. I tried everything suggested in this forum like run VS 2008 as Administrator etcetc. I commented out all reference to ADXTaskPane and now it builds successfully but when any change is done the above error reappears.

And I get below error when I open Word.

This is the same Addin project downloaded from your site with Taskpane. The sln is called MyAddin1.sln.

Please help. This is frustrating me.
Thanks!

Hello Vamshi,

You need to turn the UAC on and run VS as administrator.
