A problem to add two add ins to the same outlook

[DavidE]

Hi,
When I add a com AddIn to my outlook I see in the com addin dialog that the
other com that was there before suddenly links to the new dll so I have there
two com addins that reference to a same dll.
When I remove one and create a new and then restart the outlook I see again
that the two addins reference to one of those dlls. So, I can't have those
AddIns to work at the same time.
why it occur ?

Thanks,
David

I've never seen that before. Is this with 2 different COM addins that you
wrote? Do they both have the same registry property for the addin Connect
names or the same ProgID's or CLSID's?

Is this with .NET addins? If so are they occupying different namespaces?

Hi Ken,
Thanks for your reply.
I realy checked the progId and clsId for those dlls and I found that they
had the same clsId.
I use vb6 to make the dll and the name of the designer was in the first one:
Project1.Connect and in the other was project2.Connect.
I open one of those projects and rename all the classes inside. Then I made
a new dll and a new package setup.
I uninstalled the old com and then installed the new version.
I restart the outlook and open the Com AddIn dialog and now it works fine.

Thanks,

David
