Word add-in fails to load

[tobiasebsen]

Hi

I've searched all over the web for an answer to this, but none of the
answers I found solves my problem.

My add-in is developed for Word using Extensibillity in .NET and C#

The add-in works fine on my develpment system, but fails to load on
other PCs.

As many others have experienced the LoadBehavior gets changed from 3
to 2 whenever I start Word. Usually this means that the add-in has
caused an exception, but as far as I can see my OnConnection never
gets called, wich makes it hard for me to debug.

I've gone all over the registry to examine what's wrong, but I can't
find anything missing. The assembly is registred exactly the same way
as on my development system.

I'm pretty sure I've included all the PIAs (extensibility.dll +
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll + office.dll)

PLEASE HELP ME - I'M STUCK!

Hey there,

It might be down to CAS, check out the following URL and create a
SetSecurity item for all of your .NET dlls.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/li...gh_creatinginstallerpackagestodeploysolutions

You need to download the samples that come with it for the SetSecurity
project.

Nick.

Aaah, and now for some real Debug messages,

add an envrionment variable

VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS

with a value of 0

and voila, an error message!
