.net c# word add-in deployment

[tartancli]

Hi,

I have a problem in that I have a MS Word Add-in which works fine on the
computer where I developed it (in MS Visual C# .NET) but when I try to deploy
it on other machines it doesn’t work. To deploy the project I am using the
Setup project from the Add-ins solution explorer as per instructions at,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q316723

I tried to isolate the problem using some simple examples. I made an add-in
that simply pops-up a Message Box in the OnConnection method. This deploys
fine on the target machine. Next I tried the simple add-in as outlined in the
KnowledgeBase article 302901, “How to build an Office COM Add-in by Using
Visual C# .NETâ€. However, this does not deploy properly, no message boxes are
displayed and no button appears on the command bar. Again, these projects
work fine on the computer where I developed and built them.

Anybody have any ideas? Would much appreciate it!

Perhaps this article might help? I'm not sure about how you're deploying it,
but this is a known issue:

Next I tried the simple add-in as outlined in the
KnowledgeBase article 302901, "How to build an Office COM Add-in by Using
Visual C# .NET".

Thanks for this reference - I've been looking for an article just like this
to get me going on an add-in that I may have to develop in the near
future...

Hi Evan, Thanks for that, but unfortunately its something else - I had
deployed according to the instructions in the article you referenced.
