After SETUP runs and Outlook Add-in is installed, how to enable the Add-in
Q. How to "find" and "enable" an add-in after installation
Background
I developed an add-in which targets Outlook 2007. I used C#, VSTO 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010. It runs fine when started from Visual Studio; it also runs fine against Outlook 2010.
Using the Publish Wizard of VStudio 2010, I created a SETUP.EXE in a "publishing folder".
I wanted to try this add-in against Outlook 2003 (it would be a bonus of this could work against that platform too).
On the machine with Outlook 2003 installed, I ran the above SETUP and this install ran fine without errors:
- .Net Framework 4 Client Profile (x86 and x64) downloaded and installed
- VStudio 2010 Tools for Offic开发者_运维知识库e Runtime (x86 and x64) downloaded and installed
- MS Office customization was successfully installed
So, what to do now? I've researched this and I cannot find this recently installed add-in anywhere:
- Nothing about this add-in in Tools-Options-Advanced Options-Add-In Manager
- Nothing about this add-in in Tools-Options-Advanced Options-COM Add-Ins..
- Nothing about this add-in in Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ Outlook\Addins
The UI that should be exposed is a button on the Office CommandBar.
Thanks in advance..
I guess it's very simple. With VSTO 2010, you get a new runtime which cannot target Office 2003. See this MSDN blob article. There are also here on StackOverflow some discussions about the necessity to build two solutions (Office 2007/2010 vs. 2003).
