Debugging Outlook Add-In Crashes Outlook

N

Noel Weichbrodt

Hello. I have been developing a small C# add-in for Outlook 2003. I have
recently run into a situation where attempting to run my add-in from VS 2003
results in a hard crash of Outlook (in both debug and release modes). I have
attempted to run other add-ins, with the same result. I have reinstalled the
Office 2003 PIAs (which was a, well, you get the joke). I have confirmed that
the registry settings in both LM and CU for Outlook are correct, and that
there are no recovery hashes that Outlook has made of my add-in. All to no
avail.

The strangeness that I have noticed is that though trying to start Outlook
from VS always results in a crash, the add-in that I last attempted to build
in VS will run fine when I start Outlook on its own. So I can confirm that my
code runs correctly, but I have no idea how ;)

Before I take the hard step of my dev box, can anyone explain this and give
an easy to medium-hard fix? TIA.
