debugging shared add-in

Question
-
Hi,
I have developed a shared add-in in Visual Studio 2010. Previously the project is targeted for .Net Framework 4.0. After a while, the debugging is not working. I found that this will be fixed by installing the add-in using Setup project provided by Visual Studio.
Now, I have changed the target framework of my shared add-in's project to .Net Framework 2.0. Again, the debugging is not working. I installed the shared add-in many times and verified the registry keys and it is found that everything is fine. But the debugging is not working.
After a while, I have changed the target .Net Framework to 4.0 and now debugging is working fine now.
I want to know that, is there any issue with .Net Framework 2.0 in debugging the code of a shared add-in?
Thanks in advance,
Surya.

Hello,
Even if the problem is not caused by SP1 of Visual Studio (then it is a different cause with the same effect), can you try the trick explained here:

If you have installed SP1 to VS 2010, yes, there is an issue that I have reported to Microsoft Connect and it is currently under investigation:
VS 2010 SP1 breaks add-in debugging targetting .NET Framework 2.0 rather than .NET Framework

Hi Carlos,
Thanks for your answer.
SP1 is not installed to VS 2010 on my computer. But still the debugging is not working for target framework 2.0.
Thanks,

Hi Surya,
Thanks for your post.
As far as I know, shared addin is not used in Visual Studio,
which program do you expect to develop the addin for?
If it is excel or something, I suggest to post another thread at the matched forum as
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exceldev/threads
Hope you can get more information there.

Hi Victor_Chen,
I am developing the add-in for Word application. I need a common add-in that runs both on Word 2003 and Word 2007.
As the Shared add-in type of project is under "Extensibility" template of Visual Studio 2010, I have posted here.
Thanks,
Surya
