Hello,

I have developed two seperate add-ins for outlook (one has a button in
outlook, and one has a button in inspector windows). Both of the add-ins work
seperately and both work when they are both installed. What I would like to
do is combine them into one project so that I have just one installation
setup. What I tried to do was with one of the projects, I have included the
installation files for the other project (config, manifest, dll), and also
included the reg key entries. I also added the custom actions for the other
project. When I build the solution and install it I get no errors. The add-in
for the project loads and is functional but the one that I added to it says
it had a run time error at load (doesn't let me see error). Am I missing
anything that I should add or is there a simpler way to do this. Please
Advise.

Thanks

If it's going to be all one addin just add the functionality from addin 2 to
addin 1. Only one manifest, COM registration, handling of Extensibility
events. Just pull the meat from addin 2 and add that to addin 1. Compile it
all as one addin dll.
