Outlook add-in setup problem

[Peter]

hi,

I have the following problem:
I created a COM add-in for Outlook XP with Visual Basic .NET. It works
fine on the development machine, but it won't install on a test
machine with the .NET framework installed. The OnConnection event is
not fired and the add-in does not appear in the Add/Remove programs
list (on the dev. machine it does).
I followed the examples from the msdn articles and stuff found on
www.microeye.com. Registry keys are written in HKCU and the
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll is included in the setup (It gets
installed in the GAC folder on the target machine and registered in
HKCU as well), as described in the article "Building Outlook 2002
Add-ins with Visual Basic .NET".

I'm using the free ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll to automatically
gzip/save attachments from incoming mails. Do I need to follow a
similar procedure to register this file on the target machines as
well?

Anybody some clues? I really need to get this up and running.

PS I've been playing this whole VB/.NET/Add-in programming game for
just 4 days now, so be patient with me. I do have some experience with
Java.

Peter
