VSTO：安装Outlook Office 2003的加载项

Question

I posted an article here ( How do I set permissions on my VSTO outlook add-in? ) and I was able to build my installer. I thought that once the installer built itself, everything would work fine.

I was wrong. It works on about half of the PC's I've run the installer on. My problem is that the other half doesn't work. I'm trying to install an add-in to Outlook Office 2003.

I've even gone so far as to create the steps manually by using a batch file. Nothing seems to work on these PCs and I can't find a common denominator that I can rule out or in that will make the VSTO Addin work.

Here is the batch file I am using. What am I doing/not-doing wrong with this?

I could really use a VSTO expert's help. Thanks!!!!

EDIT I've changed the batch file and registry settings to reflect recent updates to them. I've also attached the error text that comes from the PCs that don't work.

I took the Registry settings (mentioned in the batch file above) straight from a PC that this application worked on. The VSTO Registry settings I am using are :

Answer 1

Ok, so apparently the AddIn gets automatically disabled by Outlook. Another answer with a slightly different take:

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System Variables, and add VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS with a value of 0. This will display error messages on screen, as opposed to silently disabling the VSTO. If you'd rather have a log to disk, add VSTO_LOGALERTS and set it to 1.

Hopefully this will provide you with some extra detail that might help us solve your issue!

Answer 2

To start with something trivial: on the PC's where things didn't work, did you check the registry to see if all the entries were properly added? For instance, did the .bat file get run under an account that is actually allowed writing to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT?

Are any of those PC's running Vista? Could it be they are running the Office suite without UAC, or with a full administrator account? In that case, the entries should be added to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Edit

Ok, if you are sure things are added to the registry properly, next up is RegMon (or procmon if you so prefer). Fire up regmon, start the office host application, and see where it is and isn't looking for the VSTO add-in. Start off with a filter based on your add-in name, then widen up or narrow down depending on the amount of data.
