Hi

I've recently developed a office add-in for powerpoint but the add-in doesn't load, I'm using the installer included in the package and the client does have vstor and interop assemblies installed.
If I make an application on the client using visual studio and making a debug or release, it runs fine.

Thanks
// Lasse

Most probably your application on the client is not granted the permissions to run.

Here is the latest link to VSTO deployment guide: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa537173(office.11).aspx

Shouldn't the installer solve this And if not how do I make the installer solve it.

Yes, the setup should also set the CAS policy on the machine. You should add this step as part of your setup. Please see the deployment guide.

I'm having a similar problem. It started with the plugin not loading. After some searching I found the above example, and followed it. After building my install project, I attempted to install the new one (after removing the old one). It installed fine, except when I loaded Outlook, the button did not appear. I looked into the COM Ad-ins in Outlook, and it isn't showing up.

To sum up:

First builds didn't load - had the error loading COM message.

Second builds with SetSecurity project - didn't even show up in the outlook com ad-ins list.

Is there something I am missing
