Deploying Office 2010 addin

Question

I've created two addins, one is shared addin (for Excel, Word and Outlook) and another one is for Outlook.

They work fine on my machine (where I developed it).

Framework used: 4.0

I've created a 'setup project' throught VS2010 following steps in Deploying an Office Solution by Using Windows Installer.

When I run setup of it, shared addin runs fine. But the outlook addin does not work.

This is log of 'Event Viewer'

From what I understand, it is not even considering loading addin with framework 4.0

Can anyone tell me where I have done wrong and suggest a solution.

Thank you

Answer 1

Found solution...

After searching a while found a links to Office Solution Prerequisites for Deployment and Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Installation Scenarios. Installing VSTO 4.0 solved the problem.

Then got new problem ...

System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException: Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the downloaded assembly XXX.dll.

which got solved after signing the assembly.
