I would like to know how to enable Add-ins programmatically when Outlook
crashes for some reason.I tried two ways of doing it, but invain.

I tried a way by deleting the registry entries under
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Resiliency, but this requires to restart
the Outlook for addin to be enabled manually.

Other way is I tried to handle the issue in
IDTExtensibility::OnBeginShutdown() method, but when Outlook crashes the
control does not come here.So i cannot handle it here.
Are there any other ways to handle this issue ?

Thanks
Balaji

If the addin has been disabled by Outlook there isn't any other way.

Maybe you can program to delete the extend.dat file located in C:\Documents
and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook .

That won't help. That merely will cause Outlook to rebuild its list of
Exchange extensions and has nothing to do at all with COM addins.

The question you should be asking yourself is, what is your AddIn doing to
make Outlook crash? Usually the cause is that some object isn't being
released because it has a reference to some other object, or some other
object has a reference to it.

Hi Balaji,

eventually helps the following code snippet:

Dim addIn As COMAddIn

For Each addIn In Application.COMAddIns
addIn.Connect
Next

Hi,
I tried this but it was not helpful.
Thanks
Balaji

Hi,
If such a crash occurs, i want to handle it.
I think we may not be able to handle all crash scenarios for Addins as
they reside inside Outlook.
So i wanted to handle it programatically to enable my Addin.

Thanks
Balaji

What wasn't helpful? If you don't put part of the preceding thread in your
post no one has a clue as to what you're talking about. If you mean deleting
extend.dat wasn't helpful that is to be expected, it won't do anything for a
disabled addin and has nothing to do with COM addins at all.

You can't, if I understand what you're talking about.
