[Anonieko]

Using Project Template
Wizard in New->Project->Extensiblity to create basic Addins.
It creates automatically 'For Testing' .addin xml file - to be copied
in the C:\Documents and Settings\XXXXUS ERHEREXXX\My Documents\Visua l
Studio 2005\Addins. This xml points to the physical location of the
Assembly. That is why it works immediately and registers the addin.


Case Study: CopySourceAsHTM L
It will not register even if you download the source code and
installer.
Installer is at http://jasonhaley.com/files/CopySourceAsHTML2005.zip
Source Code is at

proper Addins directory.

missing file in project (-For testing file) but it's ok because the
proper addin is still there(CopySourc eAsHTML2005.Add In).
Step 2. Rebuild
Step 3. Copy the CopySourceAsHTM L2005.AddIn and
CopySourceAsHTM L2005.dll in the
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Applicati on
Data\Microsoft\ MsEnvShared\Add ins

Step 4. Restart Visual Studio 2005. Go to Add in Manager and enable
checkbox for the Addin
