Novice: Add-in fails to load?

[Peter]

Hello,

Thanks for reviewing my question. I am rather frustrated at this point. I developed a Word add-in and was debugging my add-in and must of stop it inside VS.NET rather than closing Word. When I started debugging again, Word asked me it I want to reactivate the Add-in and I answered yes. Now, my add-in doesn't start up. I created a sample add-in for Word and that doesn't start either. I looked at the loadbehavior setting in the registry and it is set to 3. I tried setting it to 2 and that didn't work either. My original add-in still works in Excel but not in Word. Does Word turn off loading all Add-ins? Any Ideas?

Many Thanks to the Expert
Peter

I am not an expert I had similar problems and I find that I had to
rebuild the setup project and install the add-in again. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. I tried it but it did not work. Any other suggestions? It seems that Word is ignoring it. I looked at the registry location for the addin and it seems normal.

Try checking if the add-in has been disabled. In Word click Help | About
Word | Disabled Items. If your add-in is listed there, select and re-enable
it.

Good to know you got it working again.
By this i take it you mean com add-in implementing IDTExtensibility2 for the
different office apps. In that case, yes, and the Disabled Items list is
located in the same place.

Hi,

I made Word 2003 Addin C#.It's working fine.

Only problem is that on some machine some time it disabled.
After re-enabliing it never disables.

As this happen on very few m/c and also on once on that machine i am also not having the steps of replication.

Interesting thing is that it never disables after reenabling. it means after that addin works perfectly on that machine.

What may be the cause of the problem.

Please help...

I need the urgent solution.

Thanks in Advance.

Not sure but wondering if it could be that first time it is because there
are some components missing or not installed yet. Eg, the component is set
to install on demand and the delay was too long.
