Hi Sven,

We will add this to ADX DevGuide. But usually you just uninstall an add-in via Control Panel.

Or do you mean the case with two add-ins in an assembly?

What I meant was a typical way...

When I want to update my AddIn I usually uninstall the AddIn and Install the new Version.
But the Commandbars are not removed sometimes.

Installation and Uninstallation of my Assembly with the 2 AddIns is working fine... as far as I know ;)

I've added the custom actions for each AddIn Module.
Best regards,

We had a similar situation while working with MS Word.
Then we found a hung instance of Word in Task Manager.
Can you look up, probably you have the same.

Hm... I know I do not use Marshal.ReleaseCOMObject very often, can that cause such a hanging instance of Word too?

It may be one of possible causes.
In any case if this situation arises again you can send me your project and I will try to test it.

I don't know how many people are aware of it, but Microsoft recommends using a C++ shim (proxy class) so that managed code addins have their own app domain. One writer likens it to a public swimming pool where everyone is allowed to mix and rules are posted but not enforced. Since you can't be certain other addins a user may install are not ReleaseCOMObject-ing this seems to be the best insurance against other addins malfunctioning or other things that are unexplainable otherwise.

So, in short, my hope is that the addin express product will get native shim support added so that we can put together robust solutions for office apps.

As I answered you via e-mail we will add this feature to the next premium build after version 2.1. This update will get all our premium subscribers (and you unconditionally).

Great news. :)

Before I used ADX I used Microsoft XML Tools as a Reference for an AddIn.
Unfortunately it releases the Application Object of Word, when deactivate it... so my other Addin could not work anymore (until next restart of Word).

So I really appreciate this feature =)

However I hope you will find a solution where we don't have to recompile the Shim... I don't have Visual C++ .net :/

Hi,

certainly we will try to find a proper solution to use Shim with ADX.
