Caspol Commands Succeeding in Vista, but not visible in configruation

[NickP]

Hi there,

I have a setup.exe complete with accompanying msi installer created in
VS 2005, for a VSTO Office 2007 Add-In.

Install works fine without any errors and I even have some event log
entries being created that quite clearly state that Caspol has succeeded,
but I am not certain that it has.

Everything else is already available on the system as they have been
installed through the prequisities. So that includes VSTO SE Runtime, .NET
2, Office 2007. Unfortunately the Add-In just won't load, and from previous
experience in XP, this was down to an issue with Caspol not being run
correctly.

The following URL,

http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/arch...or-a-custom-action-in-visual-studio-2005.aspx

Suggests running a java script on the generated MSI in a post build
event. But with or without this, the result is the same. I see event log
entries telling me that SetSecurity succeeded fine with all the assemblies
that it needs to set the security for, not one failure. Yet it won't appear
in Word. No Add-In errors are reported either.

It works fine under XP, any ideas what I'm missing? Thanks loads in
advance!

Nick.

Most frustrating as again I have no way of debugging this error. :-(

Aaah, and now for some real Debug messages,

add an envrionment variable

VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS

with a value of 0

and voila, an error message!

Hello Nick

Here is an article from Misha Shneerson, who is talking about how to
troubleshoot VSTO related issues. It has several tips to share with us,
including the environment variable VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS.
