Shared AddIn Deployment problem

[praveen]

I have developed a simple managed com add-in in vb.net for MS Word 2003 which
displays two message boxes in OnConnection and OnStartupComplete events. I
did make the setup and installed it which is running fine.

Now i deployed the same setup in another machine which is having windows
2000 SP4/.Net framework 2.0/word 2003/IE5 only installed on it. It does not
displaying any message boxes.

I did check the registry keys and i found that when ever i open the word
application
the addin "LoadBehavior" parameter becomes 2 instead of 3.

Can someone please throw a light why this addin loadbehavior becomes 2 ?

Cheers

I was experiencing the same behaviour and the problem was fixed by
installing the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime which you can
download from

Good luck,

Hi Graham,

Thanks for answering the question . I resolved my problem with installing
KB908002. i.e "Shared Add-in extensibility update for Microsoft .Net
Framework 2.0."
