Troubleshoot Outlook 2003 Add-in written in VSTO SE Deployment

Hello Office Developers,
I need your advice on how best to troubleshoot an add-in after it gets
installed on a "client" machine. I assume it's a deployment issue, because
the add-in works on a development machine.
This add-in was created using Visual Studio 2005 C#, using the VSTO SE
Outlook 2003 template. (VSTO SE because the template creates the
"ThisAddIn" partial class.) My add-in has one line - messagebox.show(
"Hello World" ). I followed the two-part article that described "how to
deploy VS 2005 tools for office solutions using windows
installer"(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa537173(office.11).aspx).
I added the prerequisites, created an installer class that set full trust.
On the development machine, the app installs and shows "Hello World" on
startup.
On a client machine, it does not work. Something is different.
Could it due to CAS/Full-Trust? Maybe. I see the trust granted in Net 2.0
framework configuration. Caspol -rsg myaddinname.dll also shows it as full
trust. (the MS walk-thru gave full trust to the application directory) Also,
If I create an Outlook 2003 add-in using the VSTO template (not VSTO SE),
and use the same "setSecurity.cs" installer project, the VSTO add-in
successfully installs and runs on the client machine.
What's different about the VSTO SE code? The VSTO SE add-in is not on the
client's Outlook's "Disabled Items" list. It could be a Net 1.x framework
problem, although the VSTO add-in works, and there are no other add-ins (I
know of) installed in that client's Outlook.
Per Misha Shneerson's VSTO BLOG suggestion I set an environment variable
VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS variable to 0. When I re-open Outlook, it throws
an exception in a message box. Is it a compatibility issue with
"Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common"? I've attached the first part of the
Outlook Error message from the pop-up to the bottom of the
This one has me stumped. How do I debug this issue?
Thanks for slogging through this long post.
