Word add-in fails to load

[tobiasebsen]

Hi

I've developed a Word add-in using Extensibillity in .NET with C#.

As many others have experienced, the LoadBehavior gets changed from 3
to 2 whenever i start Word. This usually means that the add-in is
throwing an exception. The trouble is that it seems that OnConnection
never gets called wich makes it wery hard to debug.

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

I've checked the registry and the PIAs, but they all seem fine.

Please help!

make sure it's strongly named. If it is not, it will silently fail.

When you deploy your add in to another PC you must set your assembly register
for COM.


1. Select the Primary Output then click properties and goto Register Property
set it to vsdraCOM
2. Also set the same properties to all of your assemblies that you have used
in you project.
3. Also add Assembly Exetnsibility.dll to you deployment project and set
Register for vsdraCOM too.

4. and 1 more important thing select your project click properties and go to
signing Tab and select "sign the assembly"

now make your Delopment project again and try to deploy on another PC.
