Add-in manager doesn't work when starting Outlook from developmentenvironment

[suffporter]

Hey everybody,

I'm developing a exchange client extension with delphi. Since a week i
have a curious problem. When starting Outlook out of the development
environment I'm not able to use the add-in manager. If i press the
install button in the form where all extensions are listed nothing
happened. If i start Outlook without delphi i can click the install
button and the open dialog for .ecf files appears. Both times my
extention is loaded. But furthermore sometime it happens that the
destroy method of the extension is not called.

One week ago i was everytime able to hit the install button and the
dialog appeared and the destroy method was always called.

Has somebody an idea how i can change this behaviour?

I'm using Outlook 2007 on Windows Vista and Delphi 2007

Thank you in advance

Hans Schmidt

I'd suggest posting in the microsoft.public.win32.programmer.messaging group
about this, that's where the Extended MAPI experts hang out and one of them
is an expert at ECE's with Delphi.

You do know that in Office 14, soon to be in beta, that ECE's are not
supported and won't run at all, don't you? You'd have to judge whether or
not that makes it valid to be developing a new ECE at this time or if you
might want to move to creating a COM addin if possible.

Thanks Mr. Slovak,

i've posted my question in
microsoft.public.win32.programmer.messaging.
I know that Office 14 won't support ECE's but i have to maintain the
the ECE
for a time.
