X is not a valid add-in

[Franck]

Hi,
As usual, my excel add-in works on my computer.
Anyway, I tried to install my excel add-in (coded in Vb.Net) on another
computer and get this message :
"X is not a valid add-in"

First question, Why, when I point on my addin in Automation section,
the Dll file displayed is C:\windows\system32\mscoree.dll and not
C:\ProgramFiles\MyCompany\MyAddin\MyAddin.dll

Secondly, why did I get this message on the computer ?

Thks for help

Hi,

your AddIn is running in the .Net environment.
You should create a C++ COM Wrapper often called "Shim" for your AddIn.
Microsoft has a ShimWizard for download to create such an Wrapper for your
..Net AddIn.

The mscoree.dll is the common language runtime.

Here is a link.
