Setup Exe File created with InstallShield does not install the Outlook Add In successfully


I have created an installer project using Install Shield on Visual Studio which is required to install a custom VSTO add in to Outlook. The setup file is created as required and it runs without any issues, all of the files that are required are installed to the correct directory and all the registry files are added to the users registry as required.

However, Outlook does not seem to be finding the add in at all. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?


Solution

  • For anyone in the UK - The registry entry "LoadBehavior" must be spelled exactly as it appears here. I used the UK spelling "LoadBehaviour" and it was the sole reason my install was not successful. I was held back for several days due to this.
