Word AddIn is not showing!

Question

I have created a word add in and installed it after creating a MSI using Visual Studio Installer. I can see the Add In (Word Demo AddIn) in the disabled Add In section. But its not getting enabled even if I check the Word Demo AddIn and it is not showing in the add in tab (Actually no Add In is showing). When I come back to the same menu, this item is already unchecked. (File -> Option -> Add-ins -> Manage: Com Add-ins -> Go). 

What is the issue?

Hi there, 

When Microsoft Word crashes or freezes, it will disable any add-ins that are enabled and running.

Because it’s an add-in, it is often disabled by Microsoft Word.

Based on my research, here are two links I think will help you.

1. How can I re-enable add-ins in Microsoft Word

2. How to: Re-enable a VSTO Add-in that has been disabled

Hi Simon,

I have resolved the issue. The issue was with the Registry. It was not added properly causing the issue. I have added the registry which fixed the issue.

Thanks,

Amit
