Hi, have created a shimmed outlook 2003 add in. When i try to install on production machine, i throw an error saying that shimxxxx.dll failed to register. Then i press continiue, supressing error.

1. Open outlook the add is not visible, but if a manually add the add-in it i wont work, the dll is not registered.

2. Then i start setup again, and make a repair. then auto registering the dll went perfectly.

3. Open outlook the add is still not visible, but if a manually add the add-in it works.

please help

Hi Allan.

I think the problem is in the setup project. What PIAs do you use in the add-in?

I've found the problem,

This was releated to your ealier post on office.dll v 11 excluded from detec dependecies, and added to GAC.

Now it install perfectly, but is is still not loaded in outlook when Outlook starts first time.

I can manually add it, and it works.

How come it is not loaded automaticlally??

Allan, please check the LoadBehavior property of the addinmodule.
It should be set to 'Connected;LoadAtStartup'.

'Connected;LoadAtStartup'.

I noticed that if i uninstall the addin and install it again it works.

Hi Allan.

That means you still have some missing assemblies in the setup project.
Could you please send me a screenshot with all folders of the setup project?
