I have three add-ins. All three install fine on my Win7 test machine. But when my client tries to install on hers, one of the three does not install correctly. Here's the log for the one that doesn't install:

Hi cocoder,

First, please replace Loader\adxloader*.dll in your project with {Add-in Express}\Redistributables\adxloader*.dll.

Then please look for that HRESULT in http://flylib.com/books/en/1.222.1.110/1/.

And if you intialize any complex-type variables in the constructor of the add-in module or even on the module level, I suggest that you mode such initialization to AddinInitialize or AddinStartupComplete.

OK, I did the first thing
The error code is referring to a SerializationException...not sure exactly what that means
The only line of code in the constructor is InitializeComponent()

I rebuilt the setup project and tried again with the same results...the add-in installs but doesn't run. The Commandbar button doesn't show up (the commandbar buttons for the other two add-ins do). In the registry, the load behavior is still set to 3. Wouldn't it change to 2 if there was an error on load?

Here are the two log file outputs:

Hi cocoder,

Please check if you intialize any complex-type variables on the module level; that code is executed before the constructor is run. When the module is created during the registration process, that code may cause the problem.

OK, I'm afraid I'm not quite sure what "intialize any complex-type variables on the module level" means. So I need a little more guidance

The structure of the add-in is exactly the same as the other two that are working but each one calls a different dll that is written in VB6 (these are basically just .net wrappers for the VB6 dlls. They consist only of the commandbar/button/immage list to put the button in Project and call the dll)

Also, we've not determined that it's not just a Win7 problem but that it is also happening on some XP machines.

Hi Cocoder,

Please download and install a fresh build of http://www.add-in-express.com/downloads/adxnet.php. Also please don't forget to replace the adxloader[64].dll in the Loader folder of your project with a new one (see the Redistribuatbles folder). Could please show new log files to me? Do you get the same error?

OK, I'll give that a try. The two add-ins that are working, though, were built with the same version of Add-in Express and using the same adxloader[64].dll as the non working one.

Yes, same error:

Hi cocoder,

What I meant is initilalizing variables in an event.

I. (wrong)

    public class AddinModule : AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule
    {
        public AddinModule()
        {
            //...            
        }

        MyType myVariable = new MyType();         
    }

II. (correct)

    public class AddinModule : AddinExpress.MSO.ADXAddinModule
    {
        public AddinModule()
        {
            //...            
        }

        MyType myVariable = null;         

        private void AddinModule_AddinInitialize(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
             myVariable = new MyType();
        }
    }

Make sure you intialize your variables in AddinIntialize or AddinStartupComplete.

OK, I get it :)

I'm declaring/initializing my variable in the click event of the command button. (in all three tools)

Dim TaskReview_AddIn As New TaskReview2011.TaskReview

TaskReview_AddIn.Show()

Hi Cocoder,

Does a new build of Add-in Express help? Are you able to reproduce the issue now? Could you provide me with new log files?
