Hi,

We created an Outlook plugin using Addinexpress, but on some computers, the plugin install well (MSI install) and register, but never appear in Outlook.

After some investigations, I think that the .Net framework version is the problem. Our plugin needs the 3.5 version (we install it using "dotNetFx35setup.exe") but when I look into the project references, I'm confused :


The target .Net framework version is 3.5 :

But the project seems to references .Net 2.0 dlls :

So I'm a little bit confused... could you give me some explanations about this ?

Thanks.

Hi Aurelien,

In fact, I'm confused by this moment. too. But in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework on Wikipedia, they say:

As with .NET Framework 3.0, version 3.5 uses the CLR of version 2.0.


I believe this is why you see version 2.0 on the second screenshot. I've created a new Windows Forms Application project and see the same picture; some of DLLs referenced are from 3.5, though.
