Problem with loading an Add-In

[Ed Lorden]

I've developed an Add-in for Outlook 2003 using Visual Basic 2005. I am
using VS 2005 for the development environment. When I test the add-in on the
development machine, it works as I intended, displaying the message "Running
'New' for ThisApplication." The msgbox statement was added because I was
not able to successfully load the add-in on computers other than the
development box. The load behavior has the message "Not loaded. A runtime
error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in." on the computers
where I am having trouble.

I have checked these boxes and the version of Outlook is exactly the same on
the development box and the problem boxes (11.8010.8036) .

I found a post that looked like a similar issue that suggested looking in
"About Outlook" under the Disabled Items button for the addin. I did, but
the addin is not there. I also checked the event logs to see if there were
any messages to tell me why the loading aborted for the add-in. Because the
msgbox above is generated in the second line of the New event for the
application, I'm not sure where to go, now, to continue investigation of the
issue. Any suggestions would be of great help.

Usually a problem like that is the addin isn't being trusted on the target
computer or some pre-requisite such as PIA's or the framework isn't
installed.
