.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / VS Tools for Office / January 2007Deployment of Outlook 2003 Add-in using VS2005 SE
Hi, I have built a custom add-in for Outlook 2003 using VSTO 2005 SE. The add-in runs fine on the development machine when I run it from the IDE. The add-in fails to load when I run the setup project. I have some questions/issues in relation to the Setup project. 1. Regarding the VSTO add-in registry entries, the setup project puts these in HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive by default, but if I look in the registry on my PC, the registry entries already exist in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Can I add these to my setup project, or are they created when running the project from the IDE? 2. My add-in is strongly named using .snk key file. Therefore do I still need to set CAS policy in my setup project? (I have not done this step as I cannot find the sample SetSecurity project on my PC). The add-in is not hard disabled, as it is not in the Disabled Items dialog. However if I turn VSTO alerts on and run Outlook from the command line, I get the following: Could not load file or assembly 'StaffSuggestion, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cfb1bb23cf1562da' or one of its dependencies.

Regards, James Hi! Afaik, there is no way to circumnavigate the CAS settings procedure. You have to give permission to each library you intend to use in your add-in (I recently had to do so for dynamically loaded assemblies...)

You definitely need to use SetSecurity or some other method of granting full trust to your assembly. Your errors are typical of not setting the security. In addition to SetSecurity make sure you are deploying Extensibility.dll and possibly stdole.dll, the first and possibly the second aren't installed by Office 2003. If using Framework 2.0 you also have to account for KB 908002 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908002) which is needed with Office 2003 in cases where Office 2003 is installed before the .NET 2 Framework. You also must ensure that the Office and Outlook PIA's are installed, which they aren't by default. The VSTO 2005 SE runtime must also be installed, it has the same componentID as the VSTO 2005 runtime but you have to check the registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VSTO Runtime setup\v2.0.50727. If the correct runtime is installed already there will be a REG_DWORD named Update that's equal to 1. See http://weblogs.asp.net/mnissen/archive/2005/10/26/428564.aspx and http://weblogs.asp.net/mnissen/articles/427504.aspx for more information on SetSecurity. Also see the walkthroughs starting at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa537173(office.11).aspx and look at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=196504&SiteID=1.
