RE: Repost - Unable to run Outlook 2000 com addin built via .NET/V

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Peter,

Thank you for the response.

I checked the addin and the registry setup in the VS project didn't contain
the entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins

although it did have an entry for (I presume because I configured the addin,
via the wizard,
to allow only the user that installs the addin to use it):

HKEY_LOCAL_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins

I added the HKLM entry to the registry settings and rebuilt. However when
installed onto a
machine other than where the addin is built the registry entry:

HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\CLSID\A.B

isn't being created (and I presume the subsequent CLSID entry isn't either,
although of course I can't check that).

Is this something you can provide further help on or should I now post to
the microsoft.public.vstudio.setup and microsoft.public.vsnet.setup groups?

Thanks,

Gary
