Problem: Addin cannot use separate class library

S

Spiff

Hello,

Excuse me this is my first time posting ever (newbie)...

The situation is that I created a Shared Addin (project) that references a
custom class library (project) that I created.

The problem is that the Addin will work correctly on my dev machine but when
I deploy it doesn't even load on the other computer. E.g. when I open up the
COM Add-in manager in MS Word, it is not listed.

I narrowed down the problem: it seems that the Addin cannot find/reference
an abstract class and interface class that it overrides/implements in the
library. When I copy over the abstract class and interface class directly
into my Addin project, compile and deploy, everything works fine on the
other computer.

I need to have the separate class library because it will be used by other
developers. Can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong? Why won't the
Add-in show up in the COM Add-in manager? Is there a way to debug this?
Any answers/replies would be appreciated!

Thank you!
Burt

Nevermind, I found out that all I had to do was have the setup project
deploy the Extensibility.dll file as well.
