OK, so I have looked through this listserv. I have read Randy Byrne's
article. I have tried using a shim. I have contacted Microsoft (have
a nice weekend, they tell me...sheesh!). I cannot find the answer to
save my life.

I am getting the runtime error message when I try to load a .NET
add-in. I modeled my add-in after Randy's (thanks for that, Randy)
odc_oladdin. I can get the addin to run when I install it by right
clicking on the setup file in VB.NET and then pressing F5 to debug the
code...everything works fabulously that way.

The problem happens if I DON'T press F5 and just open Outlook. The
registry key turns from a 3 to a 2 and i get the load error. Funny
thing is that the same thing happens with Randy's original addin too...

Any help would be appreciated!

Mike
