Hi,

I have an installation package for an addin that has been working perfectly fine up until now. I cannot think of any changes that should have caused this.

The installer runs, and seems to get to the end of the installation and hen shows the message
""The installer was interrupted before Application could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again. "

I have produced a log file from the msi which you can get www.4shared.com/file/225368007/b80a9a0e/msi.html but here is the section from the end of the log file:

Hi Ian,

11:21:24 1008 Error: The Add-in Express Loader can't resolve the 'StarrLinkOfficeAddin, PublicKeyToken=ba19322174b0c203' assembly. Please check if the assembly exists in the application directory or in the GAC.


Either you don't deply the assembly to the destination folder or the PublicKeyToken specified in adxloader.dll.manifest is not the PublicKeyToken of your assembly.

How to find the PublicKeyToken of the add-in

You can find it in the setup project, which must be already built. Click on your add-in primary output in the setup project and, in the Properties window, expand the KeyOutput property and see the PublicKeyToken property value.

Many Thanks Andrei, that was it. The public keys were different. I have them back in synch now, and the installer is working again. :D
