Addin Installer simply doesn't work

[Alexey Titov]

Hey.

Need help with this - I made a shared COM Word Add-In with VS2008.
I've read the previous post here - but that didn't help.
On my machine it works fine - both when I build the add-in and when I use
the msi package to install it (before installing I remove it's
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\AddIns entry and then run the msi
package)
Then I made a fresh install of Vista and installed this:
Office 2003 Pro,
..Net Framework 1.1
..Net Framework 2.0 (wouldn't run as it's a part of OS)
..Net Framework 3.5 SP1
O2003PIA
VSTO 3.0 Runtime.

AddIn wouldn't load/run

Can any1 help please?

TIA
Alexey

Hi Alexey!

Have you tried looking under Help menu, on About to see if your addin was
disabled by office? Have you set up Full Trust for the assemblies? If not,
have a look at
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsto/thread/7bf18751-691f-4a3f-96b5-0eda206be8d6/
.. Did you include all the prerequisites for the setup? On Vista be careful
about UAC. Also be sure to run the setup with administrator rights. Try run
the msi typing this in cmd: msiexec /i "your_package.msi" Be sure to run this
command into the directory where the package exists.

Hope will help.

Nicu
