COM addin loading failed in MSP2003 but working in MSP 2007

[Anubhav Mishra]

Dear All,

WE havea COM addin for MSP build in VS 6 earlier. We have migrated the
project to VS 2005 and build it again. Now this works well in MSP 2007
but in MSP 2003, I get the below error when loading it using tools
menu in MSP 2003.
Location - mscoree.dll
Load Behavior - Not loaded. A runtime error occured during the loading
of the COM Add-in.

Any help is highly appreicated.
Regards,
Anu

Are you referencing the 2007 Interop assembly in the COM Add-In? If so,
loading it in 2003 will probably not work.

Sounds like a bad reference. Are you referencing Project 2003?

You can check the References in VS using the References branch of the
tree in the Solution Explorer.



However, if the problem went away when you installed VS05. was the .NET
Framework installed on the machine before you installed VS05? If not,
this error could have been due to that.

great thanks again

yes >net framework was installed (2.0 version) .. what i found out now
is that this problem is due to "extnesibility.dlll:.. even .net
framework is installed this file was missing..when we put this file in
our application folder, it works..any idea why .net is not installing
this file?
i will also check the same to find out something.
cheers and regards,
anubhav

How are you deploying your application? Extensibility.dll is not
normally deployed. If you are using a Setup project, include it in the
setup project and register it into the GAC. If you are using XCOPY
deployment, just include it in your application folder.



Let me know how it turns out!
