Re: Add-In does not work properly after converting to VS 2005

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Good catch pavan (which I also found in the KB):

The start KB is:
FIX: You cannot run a customization that was created in Microsoft Visual
Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System version 2003

Hi Sandesh,
I think http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907417 is causing the issue. To
confirm check your GAC for extensibility.dll. If it is not found then
for sure this is the cause.

Hope this helps

That does not seem to be the problem of installation being corrupted. I tried
to convert the project from VS 2003 to VS 2005 in two different machines. The
issue repeats for the msi files created on both the machines.

Sandesh,

Sounds as the installation of VS.NET 2005 may be corrupted...

Unless some other can give you a better solution my approach would be to
uninstall and then install it again, especially since you recently installed
it over the 2003 version.

Dennis,

I just dicovered a strange behavior of Visual Studio. I tried to create a
new shared Add_In project in VS 2005 and tried to run it. Even for that the
OnConnection event doesnt fire. I just wonder if there is a problem with
Visual Studio itself. If so, can you please suggest me a fix?

Thanks,

Hi Sandesh,

Hm, it sounds as a difficult situation and the only thing that comes to my
mind is that the add-in has been blacklisted by Word/Excel.

To check it use the following steps:
1. Open up Excel
2. Select Help and then 'About Microsoft Office Excel'
3. In the dialog select the button 'Disabled items'

I recently wrote an article about troubleshooting:
