The registration of the class under HKCR shows OK. The path is point to the
install folder of my Addin.

I have create a new OL Add-In with only one function "HELLO WORLD", if the
ConnectCompleted. By creating the new add-in project a setup project is also
created. I have create the addin for current user and for all users. But the
problem are the same - the Add-In don't say "Hello World"

The only reasons that the COM Add-Ins dialog doesn't show an addin are if
it's not registered or if it's registered for all users in the HKLM hive
of the registry instead of in HKCU (current user). Since you said that the
addin is registered only in HKCU (it's not there at all in HKLM, is it?)
the only thing left is that for whatever reason the addin is not being
registered.

When I say that I mean the class isn't being registered, not the addin
registration at \Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins. The
registration I'm talking about is the COM registration in HKCR.

If that's the case then there's something wrong with your installer.

The register property of the dll is set to 'vsdrpCOM'. The com add-in
dialog dosn't show the add-in at all. So I can't check the add in.

Your installer should only be registering the addin in either HKLM or HKCU,
not both.

I really don't know what to say. If the addin is registered for COM and has
the correct key in either HKCU or HKLM and LoadBehavior is set to 3 then the
only things are COM errors when starting up, Interop errors when loading
your addin, a badly screwed up installer setup or a lack of requirements or
prerequisites on the target machine.

Are you using the correct PIA for your setup? You need to download the
special Outlook 2002 PIA for use, none comes with Office 2002.

I'm not even sure if the Outlook 2002 PIA works with Framework 2.0 at all,
the oldest framework supported by VS 2008. There is no support for Outlook
2002 any more, it's not a current version of Outlook, so I'm just not sure
how to resolve your problems.

Ken,
I am in a similar situation. I have an Outlook 2003 addin developed in VSTO
2005. The addin works fine on most machines but gets disabled sometimes on
others. We install it under HKLM. On one particular machine, even after
changing the loadbehavior back to 3, when Outlook is restarted, it disables
our addin again with LoadBehavior = 2. I have some error logging in
ThisAddin_startup. But that doesnt get called. We also have a catch-all
exception handler in Startup with error logging, nothing happens with that
either, which makes us believe the addin doesn't even get loaded. All
components are installed and registered properly. This user has a couple of
other addins disabled under About - Disabled Items and ours is not one of
those. The user runs McAfee virusscan. The scanner for email is one of the
disabled items? How do we figure out what the problem is? Any ideas? How do I
find out if the McAfee script stopper is running?

Thanks
Vidya

What you will need to do is some Fusion debugging.

Fusion is the managed code loader and the logs from that should tell you at
least where and why your addin is getting disabled.

See the article at
http://blogs.msdn.com/vsod/archive/2...-failures.aspx
for information on the debugging you will have to do.
