I installed one application which resulted in creating adxloader.log file in my documents folder (my documents is located in roaming profile...hosted in remote server).

I do not want the adxloader.log and I am unable to delete the file. The error showing
"Cannot delete adxloader: it is being used by another person or program. Close any programs.."

I am sure that I didnt open the log file but still im unable to delete..

Many users are complaining that they do not want the ADD-IN EXPRESS folder.
Please help me to delete the log file forcefully and also in not creating the log file again in the same folder.

Hi Rajendra,

Please have a look at the adxloader.dll.manifest file (see the Loader folder of your add-in project). Typically it contains the following tag:

 <loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="true" privileges="user" configFileName="App.config" />


You just need to change the value for the generateLogFile attribute (set it to false).

Please let me know whether it works for you.

Hi Rajendra,

Did you try to delete the log file manually? Does it help?

FYI Please don't forget to close the host application before deleting the log file.

Hi Rajendra,

Note, you have chosen a wrong forum thread for http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/list.php?FID=10 related questions. Anyway, please let me know whether the following approach helps:

1. Close all IE instances.
2. Delete the log file.
2. Edit the manifest file.
3. Run IE with your add-in registered and check for the log file.
