Outlook - can't load VSTO outlook addin outside visual...

I'm developping an outlook addin using VSTO
I have visual studio 2005 & outlook 2007
I used the VSTO outlook addin wizard to develop my addin
My addin works, I can debug it from within visual studio (it starts outlook
and loads my addin)
But when I try it 'alone' on the same computer, it does not work. My
installer is the one created by the VSTO outlook addin wizard.
- I execute the addin installer (setup.exe), and setup is done with no error
- I start outlook, and I don't see the splash screen that tells me My addin
has been loaded...
- when I have a look at outlook complements, it tells me my addin is
inactive because off an execution error during the COM complement loading.
I can't deploy it on another computer either...
What's the problem ?
I saw some docs (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332052.aspx)
about prerequisities needed (office 2003 / 2005 primary interop assemblies
and tools for office runtime), but if I can debug my addin from within
visual, it means I already have them no ?
Is it a security problem ?
I tried to follow all instructions found in the doc, and here are the
problems I met :
- can't find wanted prerequisites in the list given by the addin setup
project
- error when trying to install the addin after having set the security stuff
not valid
thanks

Answered in the original group you posted in. Read both deployment articles
and follow every step as if your life depended on it. Otherwise the addin
will never load.

Again, read and follow the deployment articles exactly. The problems you are
seeing are from not following every single step of the articles exactly.

How can I help with that as the information provided?
Have you verified that on the target machine that all the requirements are
installed (VSTO runtime, PIA's, dependencies, correct version of the
Framework, extensibility.dll, stdole.dll, etc.)?
Have you used the Framework configuration utility to verify that the CAS was
set up correctly and is granting full trust to your assembly? Have you
strong named the assembly?
In the SetSecurity project are you creating the custom actions mentioned in
the deployment articles?
Is this on Vista? Do you deploy the revised version of the VSTO runtime that
fixes some Vista problems? If on Vista does it work if you toggle the
setting for UAC? If so you might need to install to HKLM instead of to HKCU
depending on the UAC settings. See the Misha Shneerson blog article about
installing VSTO addins to HKLM.

Saving attachments to folder from public folder Outlook Hey there! I am currently working on a project that involves merging data from many into one Excel workbook for analysis. The csv files are sent to a public folder (outlook: \ Public Folders \ All Public Folders \ etc. . .) I thought the easiest way to do this would be to import the data straight from Outlook to the Excel file but after much painful testing I could not get it to main mailbox folders, not public and am unsure why. . . I have almost no experience with Outlook coding so any help is appreciated! This is the current code: If there is a instead of using a selection, that is fine too!

Looking for good email program? Outlook Hi forum members, This is the first time I have posted at this forum, and to an excellent internet / web based email. With Microsoft, it appears I have two choices, Outlook, or Outlook Express. Up front I am stating, not interested in all the bells and whistles that that exists, whether it is free, or, I have to pay for it. So, between Outlook and Outlook Express, what are the pros and cons about one versus the other? Please do not about the stuff I have stated I am not interested in. Simply want to compare Outlook vs Outlook Express's email program and how either will serve me best. My needs: 1 - I do not waste anybody's time with stuff that is not relevant to my question. Outlook or Outlook Express? For EMAIL PURPOSES. One or the other, Why vs Why Not? After
