Debug crashes Word2003 upon startup

S

Stephen Corey

I'm using VS.NET 2003 to create a Word 2003 COM Addin. I've created
several for Outlook 2003 successfully, and am fairly familiar with the
process. Here's what happens:

1. I create the new Shared Addin project, and choose only Word 2003, and
check both checkboxes at the end (load on startup, and load for all users)

2. VS creates the default code, etc...

3. I change the project to start winword.exe for debugging, and add a
breakpoint on the very first line in OnConnection().

4. I start the debug, the word flashes for an instant, then immediately
closes. No crash dialog ("do you want to send a report on this
error...") message comes up.

5. The next time I debug, I get the message "Word failed to load the
addin xxxx. Do you want to disable it?". If I choose no, it flashes,
then closes again.

Note: If I start Word from the start menu, it comes up fine (even with
the addin). I've ran a repair install on both Office 2003, and VS.NET.
I'm out of ideas.

Can anyone help??
