visual studio 2010 - Partial functionality of Addin with Windows Installer -
i have had trouble excel addin , windows installer. tried following steps set out in demo (shown on pluralsight) on test project , works fine.
for custom addin, used vs2010 , addin targets excel 2007. there more projects in solution addin project , setup project. after have run msi file created setup project, if have message box in thisaddin_startup method of thisaddin.cs class, shows messagebox, not display ribbon tab created in same project. have tried see whether errors show creating vsto_suppressdisplayalerts , vsto_logalerts variables, don't see logfiles. after build projects , create msi , setup.exe files, clean solution in visual studio, , try installation external msi file, since i'm testing on development computer now. perhaps should add, if run setup.exe file, don't messagebox.
my addin not disabled, , ticked in com-addins dialog. have registry set hkey_current_user.
why see messagebox, not tab on ribbon?
i found there exception when ribbon loaded, , why did not show. when cleared problem, ribbon loaded correctly. exception not picked debugging though, silently malfunctioned.
