Hi,
I have VS2005 with sp 1 installed. I installed VSTOSE as I need to do a
small interface with outlook. I have created an outlook 2003 addin
application (vb.net). All I've done is put a message box in both start and
shutdown events and hit F5.

I can debug everything but Outlook. What I have found so far is that
the Add-in is not being loaded if I go to Tools/Options/ Other/ COM Addins I
can see my Add in there but if I check it and click OK if I go back it is
uncheck.

Please help

The add-in may be "Hard Disabled". Try the following:

1. On the Help menu, click About Microsoft Office <ApplicationName>.

2. Click Disabled Items.
Add-ins created with Visual Studio Tools for Office appear in the list of
disabled items as "Addin:<add-in name>AddinLoader.dll"

3. Select the add-in and click Enable.

You can read more about re-enabling add-ins that have been "Hard" and "Soft"
disabled in this topic http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms268871.aspx.

Does this help?

Where are you trying to debug it?

Is it on the development machine and are you running Windows Vista?

If it's Vista you need to take a look at
