Outlook 2010 VSTO AddIn not loading

Question

I have created a solution with a Outlook AddIn Project and a InstallShield LE Setup Project. I followed this Walkthrough to create the Setup Project:

I installed my AddIn on a user-level. Here are some screenshots from my Setup Project:

Here I added the project output by going to "Add Project Output" and then selecting "Primary Output" from the list and clicking OK.

Here I added the registry keys for a user-level installation. I am not sure if what I did here is correct and I suspect that the error lies here. I have tried following the walkthrough but I am not sure if I added the keys for the AddIn and it's FormRegion correctly (The AddIn has exactly one FormRegion).

I added the FormRegion Manifest File according to this Walkthrough:

Does anybody know what could be wrong here? I don't get any error messages and the AddIn shows in the COM-AddIn dialog in Outlook 2010 but after checking it, it doesn't load. After going into the COM-Addin dialog again, it has unchecked itself. I have also checked the disabled items, however, the AddIn does not appear here.

Answer 1

OK I found the problem. For some reason, the way I added the registry key for the FormRegion was not correct. The correct way is to add the Key with the corresponding class name, in my case IPM.Appointment. Then I had to add a string value with the full name, in my case Condato.Terminauswertung.CustomPropertiesFormRegion and the name of the Add-In with a preceding equal sign as value, in my case =Condato.Terminauswertung. You can find the first two values in the FormRegion class file near the top.
