add-in no longer gets loaded

[Alex]

Hello.

I have an IDTExtensibility2 add-on written in C#.

I had to reinstall Word 2003 on my development machine and now the add-in is no longer loaded when I start Word.
How do I fix it, so that the DLL from the ...\bin\debug directory is used?

Thanks,
Alex.

Check if your add-in is registered in the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins.

Hi Alex,

I agree with Boris's suggestion.
Because the word will check the addin in the registry below.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins

If no, we have to install the addin by the installation project shipped
with addin project or build it manually.
