My add-in never gets loaded

I am creating an add-in for MS Outlook 2000, in VB.NET. I've written
the regular code that is in this somewhat the same as the code in this
article.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q302896/

I chose the project type to be "Shared Add-in", but I see, when I
rebuild the project, no entries are made in the registry for the Add-in
under the:

Current_User/Microsoft/Office/Outlook/Addins/<ProgIDOfMyAddIn>

As a result, the Add-in never gets loaded. I've checked the option
"Register for COM Interop" in the build tab of the project properties.
The problem is that my add-in never gets loaded and hence I have not
been able to test it.

Help appreciated.

Hi,

I had the same problem. My solution was to move or rename the source folder
and reinstall the addin (right click on setup project/install).

cheers,
Stephan
