Installing an Add On created with C#

L

Luis D Rojas

Hi,
I create an add on for outlook with C# ( it is a statics add on that
displays user activity...it would be activated thourgh a button on the
standard toolbar), it compiled, and i run the set up project. no issues were
produced. The problem is that the button is not appearing in the standard
toolbar

Any Suggestion?

Best Regards,

What is the loadbehavior ?
Is the AddIn visbile for all users or only for the current user ?
How did you installed your AddIn, as User or as Administrator ?
Have you implemented Error Logging ?
What UserRights has the User running the AddIn ?

I have one little question.
It is possible to debug Shared Addin for Outlook? (.NET 2003 C#)
And how to do this?

It gives me an error about not enough rights to do the installation process,
but then i hit retry and it says that installation was succesfull.
I´m debugging it, and the error is when i try to add a new button, the error
happens in this sentence
btnGetEMailStats = (CommandBarButton)commandBars["Standard"].Controls.Add(
1,System.Reflection.Missing.Value, System.Reflection.Missing.Value,
System.Reflection.Missing.Value, System.Reflection.Missing.Value );

It is related with the rights stuff?
It would be weird since i´m the machine admin

Hello Luis,

in your setup project,
have you excluded the Interop PIA's and office.dll from setup project ?

Maybe on the target machine you don't have the PIA's installed.

Hello Helmut,
i see two office.dll being pointed, is that correct.
The only diference is the name, office.dll( source path.
C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\office\11.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\office.dll)
and Office.dll ( source path:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Office.dll )

and at my add in project i only have a reference to a Outlook.dll, plus
Office.dll ( refering about what i think Office references should be.
