AddInSpy Description

AddInSpy and AS provided in this package are two variants of the same tool: a diagnostic tool for use both while developing an Office add-in, and also to troubleshoot issues with deployed add-ins. Note that the tool is unsupported. The tool discovers and reports a lot more information than is available through the Office UI natively. AddInSpy is a standalone WPF application, while AS is a scriptable console application. Both AddInSpy and AS are simple front-ends that share the AddInScanEngine.dll – this DLL contains all the main scanning functionality. Main features: The scan engine scans the registry for Office add-ins, and reports the following details: Whether the host application is running, and whether the add-in is loaded. The type of each add-in: VSTO, managed non-VSTO, native. FriendlyName, ProgID, CLSID and LoadBehavior of the add-in. Manifest path, assembly path, and assembly strongname. Registry hive (HKCU or HKLM) where the add-in is registered. CLR version the add-in was built against. VSTO runtime version used by the add-in. Installed date, and publish version. Which extensibility interfaces the add-in implements for Ribbon, custom taskpane, etc (including via VSTO wrappers). Whether the add-in exposes itself for automation through the COMAddIns collection of the Office host application. Whether the add-in is in the disabled items list for the current user, for each selected Office host application. Whether the add-in is registered as the provider for any custom form regions. Context information: machine name, user/domain name, OS details, VSTO environment variables.
