.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / VS Tools for Office / March 2007Cannot setup security policy error - invalid solutionCodeGroupName
All, Trying to follow the article below to create a test Outlook Addin but I get the following message when I try to install the solution: Cannot setup security policy. The specified solution code group name is not valid. Here is what I have for the custom action /assemblyName="OutlookAddin.dll" /targetDir="[TARGETDIR]\" /solutionCodeGroupName="SomeName.OutlookAddin" /solutionCodeGroupDescription="Code group for OutlookAddin" /assemblyCodeGroupName="OutlookAddin" /assemblyCodeGroupDescription="Code group for OutlookAddin" /allUsers=[ALLUSERS] On this page: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa537179(office.11).aspx Following this section: Walkthrough: Enhancing the Outlook Add-in Setup Project Any thought on how to enter a correct solutionCodeGroupName? Thank you, Rafael You need to enter that all in one line and have each argument separated by a space from the next argument. You want the spaces before each "/" character, that's not clear from that article. You also want to match the name used for solutionCodeGroupName in all 3 callback custom actions you implement. See if that helps.

The System cannot find the file specified.. Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\MYCompany\OutlookAddin\Security.InstallState' Any thoughts?

Did you check everything you typed into the custom actions to ensure there are no typos? If you modified the MyCompanyName parts or addin name parts did you change things in other places in the project to be consistent? Did you add the primary output of SetSecurity to the Setup project? Is it named SetSecurity and not Security?

Also, a silly question, my project is in VB and I notice the SetSecurity project is in C, is this a problem? Thanks, Rafael > No idea, I've never seen that.

As far as MyCompanyName within the project, I had mine within the customactionsdata for SetSecurity: /assemblyName="Closed Loans Report Queue.dll" /targetDir="[TARGETDIR] \" /solutionCodeGroupName="XYZ Company.Closed Loans Report" / solutionCodeGroupDescription="Code group for Closed Loans Report" / assemblyCodeGroupName="Closed Loans Report" / assemblyCodeGroupDescription="Code group for Closed Loans Report" / allUsers=[ALLUSERS] Then selecting the main project and going to the Project option on the toolbar: Properties -> Application. click the "Assembly Information" button. Within there, you can specify the Company Name as well as the Product Name and other info. I don't know if this helps or not, but I figured I'd try to help. Hopefully, maybe someone will give me an answer on one of my open inquiries. Hey thanks for the reply. I will revisit these settings and see where it takes me. It's a bit frustrating to see so many people having almost the same issues and no real solution to the problem. It'll be nice to see some example in VB on how to grant permission to the assemblies as well. Regards, Rafael > It's C#. I honestly don't know if it's a problem within the same > solution or not.

It makes no difference if SetSecurity is in C# in a VB project, as long as you have C# installed so it can compile. The examples in the walkthroughs work as well in either language. As long as you follow directions and create the installer custom actions as directed it will work.

Any idea on how to recreate these keys? Don't think recreating them manually would be wise as I am not sure what GUID to assign. Thanks, Rafael > It makes no difference if SetSecurity is in C# in a VB project, as long as > you have C# installed so it can compile. The examples in the walkthroughs [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> >> Rafael You can always create a new GUID and use it where the original one was used. Or you can create a new addin using the VSTO wizard and copy your existing code to that or see what entries are created in that and copy them over, with GUID adjustments where needed.
