Upgrading an Outlook ADX 2009 project to ADX 2010

Is there a guide somewhere that I have missed that outlines the steps to properly upgrade an ADX 2009 project for Outlook to use ADX 2010?

I have readded the references to ADX libraries and swapped the adxloader with the new one that comes with ADX 2010 and my project builds just fine. However, if I try to open the addin's module designer in VS2010 I get the following:

Could not load file or assembly 'AddinExpress.OL.2005, Version=6.0.3043.2005, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e69a7e0f3592d2b8' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

See: http://screencast.com/t/MzBkZmIyZGY

Any ideas? Thanks!

Also, what other steps are needed for upgrading the project from ADX 2009 to ADX 2010? My project is deployed via ClickOnce for the time being, I noticed a new ClickOnce module type, do I need to change to this?

The Outlook addin project I am working with does have form regions, maybe this is causing my problem.

I just tried creating a brand new ADX 2010 project for Outlook. When I attempt to add an ADXOutlookFormsManager to the addin module I get the same error:

---------------------------
Add-in Express 2010 for Microsoft Office and .NET
---------------------------
Could not load file or assembly 'AddinExpress.OL.2005, Version=6.0.3043.2005, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e69a7e0f3592d2b8' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I get a similar error for any forms manager I attempt to add to an addin such as an ADXWordTaskPanesManager, etc.

The files mentioned do exist, however their versions numbers are suspect. See http://screencast.com/t/YWNmZDY3Y - I did uninstall ADX 2009 prior to installing ADX 2010.

Visual Studio 2010 (running as administrator)
ADX 2010 Professional
Windows 7 x64

Thanks.

I tried deleting the currently installed AddinExpress.OL.2005.dll file and the installation does not add it back when I run it again. Are these files supposed to be installed with ADX 2010? I assume so since the error is indicating that the file I have is the wrong version. Any idea why I am not getting the updated version?

OK. I did another full uninstall and then installed it again and it seems to have fixed the problem. The DLL versions are all correct now. So problem is solved.

As long as I have asked, are there additional steps to upgrade an ADX 2009 project to ADX 2010?

Thanks.

Please look at http://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2010/04/08/office2010-32bit-64bit-single-setup/.

Do you have any idea why you had to re-install it twice?

Thanks for the link, that was some info I was needing.

No idea why I had to install twice, but the second time worked.
