Hi,

I created a outlook 2007 shared addin and tested locally in both VS 2008
debug and msi installation (release build) and everything seems ok. then I
tried the release build msi installation file on another machine. but after
installation is done, in outlook, it is in "disabled application add-ins"
section and if I go the manage com add-ins, it will say my addin's Load
Behavior is unload.

I checked the registry value for the addin's load behavior is 3.

I used the VS 2008's myaddinsetup project to create the msi installation
file. am I missing something?

thanks.

Are all dependencies deployed to the test machine? In general if an addin
gets disabled when it tries to load either some dependency is missing, the
PIA's aren't installed or you have an unhandled exception that's causing
your addin to become disabled.

Take a look at the troubleshooting steps for managed addins at
