Unable to Install AddIn Express for AllUsers on client
Custom made installation does not install our add-in for all users.

Hi,

We made a custom setup for our add-in with VST2008 en adx version 5.1.2022.

We added the output from our add-in project to the custom setup, excluded all 'tlb' dependencies and added the AddInExpress files: 'adxloader.dll', 'adxlauncher.exe' and the 'adxloader.dll.manifest' file, furthermore the setup is set to 'AllUsers' and requires admin priviliges to install.

Our manifest file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<assemblyIdentity name="Organice.Office.Integration, PublicKeyToken=9809048fcdbfea5f" />
<loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="false" privileges="administrator" configFileName="app.config" />
</configuration>

After installation the AddIn is available for the Admin who installed the AddIn and the entries for the addin are present in the HKCU, but no entries are made in the HKLM....where did we go wrong what did we miss.

Thnx for your help,


Roland.

Hi Roland,

Make sure that the RegisterForAllUsers property of the add-in module is set to true. To find that property in the Properties window, you need to open the designer of AddinModule.cs (or AddinModule.vb) and click the designer surface.

Installed the latest version and rebuild the install manifest and added it to our custom setup, this works.
