Com Shim wizard installation problem

[BatKing]

Hi,

I don't know if this question belongs here. Mods feel free to move it to the
correct sub forums.

I am working on my outlook addin's installation project. and I want to
create my COM shim so that I can isolate my add-in.

I downloaded Com Shim Wizard Version 2.3.1 and try to install it. during
installation, a error message will pop up. with something like "object
reference not set...". the installation still finished and the add/remove
program under Control Panel, COM Shim Wizard is there too. However in my VS
2008, I can't find the com shim project under C++. Uninstalling Com Shim
Wizard will give me the exact same error.

I can't find anything online, except someone in the following thread seems
having the same problem. but never got a answer for this.

Any Idea?
thanks.

I'm not sure about this problem, you might want to post your question on
Andrew Whitechapel's blog about the COM Shim Wizard 2.3.1 at
http://blogs.msdn.com/andreww/archive/2008/08/27/com-shim-wizard-2-3-1-0.aspx.

Andrew wrote the shim wizard with Misha Shneerson, so if anyone would know
about your problem he would.

Just make sure to post the actual error or error number you get when
installing if there's any additional information beyond what you posted
here.

I think I got the old version of setup file which don't let me select which
version of Visual studio is used.

the link you provided take me to the newest setup file download.

thanks.
