COM Shim won't Load

[Robert Phillips]

I'm developing an add-in and using the COM Shim wizard to load it. My shim
won't load anymore. This article "Isolating Office Extensions with the COM
Shim Wizard" mentions something called a "block list" I think this is my
problem because if I rename the shim and update the proper registry entry,
it starts working again.

Where is the "block list"??? I'm hoping to manually remove my shim so that
I can continue developing it. For now, I have renamed it, but I don't want
to do that every time my code errors out while developing the add-in.

excerpt from the article:

....Each time before an add-in is called, its associated file name is added
to a block list (on a per-application basis). If the add-in malfunctions
before returning to the host Office application code, its file name is not
removed from the block list....

Robert, this newsgroup is fairly low volume so it takes time until people respond.

That said, I sometimes get the impression that most of the add-ins gurus are dispensing their knowledge elsewhere.


Best wishes,
