Deployment of an Add-In

[DenizDuelec]

Hi,

I have developed an Add-In for Project 2003 under VS2005 and .NET-Framework
2.0.
Setup works fine on my development machine and the machine of a colleague.
On the target machine the setup runs smoothly but after starting project,
the add-in is not available (no button in the toolbar, no menu-entry).
Developer machines and target machine are both Windows Server 2003 SE
I already tried
- Same Service-Packs of Windows and Project 2003 on target and development
machine
- Same Registry-Entry for Load Behavior (=3)
Filemon shows that the target machine doesn’t even look for the Add-In-DLL
on Project 2003 Startup (But the development machine does look for the
Add-In-DLL – and it works there)

I’ve got no clue what else to look for … :-(

Hi

this could be because u may not ve installed the shared addin support
for .net framework together with the addin.

Thank you very much Joe!

Kb908002 didn't fix the Problem but your answer lead me to the right path:
Prerequisites

My setup-solution had to include the office.dll in the setup dependencies.

Thanks again.
