trying to get a demo addin to work in visual studio ...

used the addin wizard to create it, used configuration manager to check
"build" for both the addin and setup.

When I open a project I get an error message: "addin failed to load -
class not registered" The name of the class is my addin. How do I
register my addin class?

thanks,

-Steve

You can rebuild your add-in ensuring that the "Register for COM Interop"
setting is set to true in the Project properties. You can also register it
by hand using:

regasm.exe /codebase myaddin.dll

Or you can use your setup to register it as COM component.
