Visual Studio AddIn does not Load After Installation

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a working visual studio addin on debug mode

I have created a setup project

Added the .xml file, the .addin file and the .dll file (by adding project output)

I added the registry settings as outlined here so that it finds the .dll file based on installing-visual-studio-addins-for-all-users

and when i check my regedit, it was there

My AddIn manager displays my AddIn with available addin checkbox checked and Load checkbox checked

I have followed all available instructions and I dont know what I am missing that the setup project does not work. The menu bar that I have created remained disabled after installation, by right it should be loaded and active

can anyone please help? TIA

And we cannot even know what's missing. Not enough information. There can be too many ways to screw it up.

what other information is required? Something wrong with the connect class? but it runs fine on debug mode :( the menu bar got activated
.xml and .dll is at the same directory with the .addin file
Addin / Macros Security in Tools -> General windows have the path that i wrote in the registry what else am i missing?

The addin file is installed in Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins folder, I also have GIT addIn installed they are at the same location

:(

You should see yourself from your problem, what is required.
