Outlook Addin & Setup

For some reason I ended up deleting the Setup project that was automatically
created when I created my Outlook Addin project.

I created a new Setup for my project and copied over the registry settings
from a new Outlook Addin project - this project was empty and just used to
find what registry settings were needed. Where needed, I replaced the names
of the new project with the names of my actual project.

However, after installing on a machine the addin is added to the in-active
addin list and I am told when managing COM Add-Ins that it was "Not Loaded.
The managed Add-in Loader failed to initialize.".

Can anyone tell me how to create a new add-in setup project or tell me if
there is a log where I can find *WHY* my addin's loader failed to
initialize?

TIA

What version of Outlook, what version of VSTO?

Is this deployment to a different computer than the development computer?

Did you set security for the VSTO addin assembly, sign the assembly and make
sure all the pre-requisites are on the target machine (vsto runtime, PIA's,
framework, extensibility.dll, stdole.dll, any other references, possibly the
registry lockdown fix and other fixes)?

Did you look at the installation and deployment walkthroughs (2 part
article) on MSDN? I can't provide a link for them right now, they've been
moved with no forwarding links.

After reading this blog:

http://blogs.msdn.com/mshneer/archive/2006/01/05/deployment_articles.aspx

I think I need those to articles but you're right, the links are dead.
However, the blog entry doesn't give the titles of the articles so I can't
even serach for them. Do you remember what the titles were?

TIA

first one, there's a link to the second one at the bottom of the first
article:

OK, I recreated my entire solution from scratch so it has a correct
automatically created setup. The only things I changed were the friendly
name and the description in the setup.

However, I still get "The Managed Add-in Loader failed to initialize."

Any ideas?

TIA
