Outlook addins uninstalling

Wed Jul 13, 2005 11:10 am

Hi,

I am packaging an application which is a Addin for Outlook express. Addin contain two dll and one OCX file. After installating the apps and open the MS outlook, this addin already appear in the tool bar. Go to Tools > Customize > Toolbars, I can see this addin already selected.

Problem:
1. Since component attribute is set to increment dll count, uninstall will remove the dll. On opening the Outlook, A ERROR MESSAGE appears which say "crmplugin.dll" file is not found in c:\windows\crmplugin folder.
This error appear only on launching outlook for the first time after uninstalling the apps. Checked using regmon and filemon, It is not making any reg entry nor setting the ini file also. suspect about the outlook startup. How to avoid this error msg.
If anyone work with addin and face this kind of problem pls help.

2. The Addin option in the customize window is not deleted after Uninstall, instead, it appear selected. User has to manually deselect and delete the Addin to avoid appearing in the main window. How to delete the Addin from the customize window?

If you require a MSI I can supply it. Pls let know.

Thanks
Sree
