Default outlook addin setup

If there is no registry entry for Outlook at
HKCU\Software\Office\Outlook\Addins\ for your addin or in the equivalent
HKLM registry entry then that's the problem right there. Your addin must be
registered for Outlook to find and start it.

Did you follow the steps in the deployment walkthrough where it tells how to
set up the registry? You need values under your addin entry for
LoadBehavior, CommandLineSafe, Description and FriendlyName.

Default outlook addin setup

Hello Ken,

Thanks For Reply.

we are able to create a setup project using VS.net project setup type.
we have create another class library project for caspol ( giving full
permission to access).In setup project we are putting a .net DLL into GAC
using "Add sepcial folder" option. This DLL is beign used inside out addin
project.
we have a COM dll used by .NET DLL which need to register at client machine.
we add File for setup project and changed property of it as

Register value to vsdraCOM
however it is not registered inside register.

we have gone through number of tutorials for registering a com dll into
client machine via setup project, however we are not able to do same inside
add-in.
eg
http://blogs.msdn.com/omars/archive/...28/122321.aspx

our setup project work fine if we register COm DLL using command line

regsvr32 path of COMDLL.

Please suggest some solution if there is any fix.

Have you tried creating a custom action that calls a script that runs
regsvr32 on that dll?

Well, if that dll needs registration you will have to find a way to provide
the path to a script to register it, or get it to be self-registering, or
write code in your application to check for registration of the dll in the
registry and if it's not there then call out to a script or shell command to
register it, or find some other way. Or you can use to use LoadLibrary and
call into the dll without registration.
