I want to set this dll in other machine using registry.So that when the Outlook start it reads from the registry and create and Addin in the outlook.

The same thing is happening in my machine when i build it through code.After building the dll is set in the registry automatically and that dll is called when the outlook is opened.

Have you read the article? It explains how to create a setup.exe that you can use to install it on other machines. It also mentioned the registry entry that you need to add.

Using that article i have prepared an installer.After installing with this installer in another machine i have checked the Outlook but the addin button is still not created.

There are lot of things to look at. You may try restarting the PC, or if there are error messages while deploying, you may need to take a look at those.

After installing in another machine its showing the error inside the outlook "Not loaded. A runtime error occured during the loading of the COM Add-in"
