Hi Phil, Some more info...
I turned on Fusion in the registry for logging assembly load errors and the following error is logged when Word loads and then disables the AddIn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Assembly Binder Log Entry (01/05/2009 @ 12:40:39) *** The operation failed. Bind result: hr = 0x80070002. The system cannot find the file specified. Assembly manager loaded from: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll Running under executable C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\WINWORD.EXE --- A detailed error log follows. === Pre-bind state information === LOG: User = TST-ETSXP03\acasadmin LOG: DisplayName = DTIOfficeAddIn, Version=1.0.3405.28082, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null (Fully-specified) LOG: Appbase = file:///C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office10/ LOG: Initial PrivatePath = NULL LOG: Dynamic Base = NULL LOG: Cache Base = NULL LOG: AppName = WINWORD.EXE Calling assembly : (Unknown). === LOG: This bind starts in default load context.

The 1.0.0.1 dll gets installed and written to the registry as per my heat generated keys above. Is there a way of uninstalling all old versions of an assembly so that i have a clean place to start from?
