Odd problem with an Excel Add-in

R

Rob Sushak

I have written an add-in for Excel and am trying to install that add-in.
When I run the add-in through Visual Studio, it runs correctly. When I run
the installation program and then try to use it from Excel, it does not
appear. Further checking indicates that there was a runtime error during
the loading of the COM Add-in, so it did not load. After running the Add-in
through Visual Studio, I can successfully use the Add-in in Excel.

I located the changes to the registry settings that occur when running the
Add-in through visual studio. When I import those reg settings after doing
the install exactly as they appear, the Add-in works. When I use a slightly
modified version of the reg settings, it fails. The only difference between
the two sets of settings is the directory path to the manifest -- both paths
are valid and the files in each location are exactly the same.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is (or even better,
the solution to that problem)?

Thank you.

Rob
