Hello all,

I have been working on an Outlook Add-in (VSTO 2005, running in Outlook
2003). I publish my updates to our web server, and upon startup the add-in
checks manifest files there to determine if there is a newer version. This
all works wonderfully when my test PC is connected to our network, but when
no network connection is available the following error occurs upon startup
and the add-in fails to load. Could anyone offer any advice on how I can
handle this error or configure my addin to not even try to update if no
network connection is available? Thanks in advance for your assistance.


Error Details are as follows---

Log entry added at 9:33:30 PM:
