Outlook Add-in Deployment issues
So after you’ve built your new whiz-bang Outlook Add-in, you will want to deploy it to your user’s machines. It runs fine on your development machine, but when you copy it (or use the installer to install it) to another box, it doesn’t run so fine. Here are some deployment issues I […]
In the last 3 sessions, we have developed an Outlook Add-in that adds a tab to a Contact window when it is opened. We began to discuss some further issues with which we must grapple.

I had a recent experience writing an Outlook add-in that hopefully will save you a lot of […]
