I created a new add-in using C# from the wizard. But when I build and
debugged it is not showing up in the tools or addin manager

What is the problem? Help me plzz.

I too am having a problem getting Add-ins to show up in VS2005.

I created a simple add-in using the MSDN Walkthrough: Debugging an Add-in
Project document, but no menu items ever show up in Tools menu, and no items
ever display in the Add-in Manager dialog.

I know the Add-in's XML file is being used because if I edit the file and
make the contents invalid XML, I receive an error from Visual Studio telling
me the file is invalid.  When the file is valid, I see no errors of any kind.

I've tried changing the values for the LoadBehavior and CommandPreLoad tags,
as well as the /resetaddin switch on the command line without luck.  I even
tried the /log switch on devenv but saw nothing useful.

I've also tried installing other Addins like GhostDoc, but these also fail
to work/register and I see nothing in the Add-in Manager dialog.

Is there a security setting that could be keeping the add-ins from loading?  
Can anyone suggest a method to help me debug this problem?  In case it
matters, I also have Visual Studio .Net 2003 and Visual Interdev installed on
the same box.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Strangely, I am having the same problem.  I've created a few addins before
and not had any difficulty.  

I have even set a breakpoint on the New and OnConnect members, and Visual
Studio says that no symbols were loaded.  

Did a Windows Update change something?

It seems so many are facing this problem, Microsoft developer support should
respond soon and solve the issue.

I heared that reinstalling the VS may fix the problem by luck, but I am not
ready to kill myself by reinstalling the VS :(

Immediate help be will be greatly appreciated.

After some GhostDoc users contacted me with that problem, I did some
searching and found the following:

Seems like the problem is fixed for the service pack of VS2005.
