Question

I made an add-in using VS 2012 and it works fine for me on debugging. After done, I made a vsi installation file renaming a zip file that contains the .addin, .dll and .vscontent to .vsi I'd sent this vsi file to another computer, and tried to install. It's launch VS Content Installer and the installation ocurred with no problem. But this addin creates a commandbar on top-level menubar (Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars.CommandBar) and includes my addin commandbar inside it. I'd made a shortcut in Connect.cs to call the addin using ctrl + ' This works fine for me too. But in other computers, this don't work. The top-level menu and commandbar are not being created, as the shortcut that not works too.

Here is the link of VS with Menubar and Commandbar when are debugging.

Solution

Things to check:

If the user uses roaming profiles and/or has his VS add-in directory on a network drive / UNC path... ...the assemblies will not be trusted, and VS will fail to load the add-in.

Also make sure that they have the AddIn checked to load and run...

On the Tools menu, click Add-In Manager.

Is the Add-in registered to run with Visual Studio ?

Can you check that the Add-In dll is installed in the path you asked it to ?
