Hello Chris,

1. What version and build number of Add-in Express do you use?
2. What is the target OS?

1. I am using Add-in Express 2009 for Microsoft Office and .net, Standard version 5.1 build 2022. It is the one available on the download page. I downloaded it, installed it, and rebuilt the project on the 19th right before posting this. I saw in another thread that Build 2022 would fix the issue.

2. Microsoft Vista with Microsoft Office 2007

Hi Chris.

Did you choose the VSTO loader in the New Project Wizard when you created the project?

Hi Sergey.

Yes, I did. The plug-in install works fine on XP machines. When I try to install it on a Vista machine, it bombs out of the install with that error above.

Sergey,

Good question... I really don't know. Is there any way to check for that?

You can check it in the 'Programs and Features' dialog in the Vista Control Panel.

Sergey,

Not installed on the Vista machine. I am assuming that I should be packaging it as part of the install, correct?
