Shared Add-In VS2005

Hi!

I have problems to get Shared Add-in done with VS2005 ("final" version) with Word 2003. I manage to make same test with old VS2003 shared add-in project type and it's working fine with Word 2000.

Is there some issues why .Net 2.0 Shared Add-in won't work with Office 2003 Also what I actually trying to solve is that I need add-in or way to add new command bar to Word where users can use my .Net windows form program. On VS2003 it worked just as I though with Shared Add-in project.

If I need to make this kind of 'add-in' for .Net 2.0 and Word 2003 should I install VSTO for this purpose or should shared COM Add-in method work

I have registery keys on registery for this but for reason or another it just won't load it. Also is it normal that if trying to manually open that add-in from Tools->Com Add-ins Word claims that it is not valid...sounds weird.

Anyone manage to do Shared Add-in project for Word 2003 with VS2005 If you have example I would love to see it. Smile

Thank you!

    I hope strong signing and placement into GAC will help you.

    I did bug report for this because my customer project depends on this. We will see what is the response. There might be something wrong on my environment but can't figure out what it is. Sad

    I had the same problem as you Jupek, however I second that this is a bug, cos in my case cleaning the registry didnt helped. What is more I got a nice reply from the MS Folks

    Hi,

    First of all thanks for the tip, the fix helped me for office version 2000 and 2003.
    However, we develop a shared addin for all office versions,
    and fix does not work for all version (xp), right

    Anyway,
    Is there a fix that can help me

    regards,

    Guy

    I'll withdraw that this is a bug. It was as I first assumed problem on my environment.

    I did a little registry digging (for old times sake) and removed all entries related to that com entry. Then installed that add-in again with setup program and it worked. So I guess there were something wrong on registry. Tried to reproduce this problem with totally new project (myAddin3) project and couldn't.

    So for all you there. If you have similar problems search your registry with regedit and remove all entries related to that COM. Then install again. It worked for me.

    Haven't tried this but I doubt because same project done with VS2003 working without signing.
