Problems with Word Add-in After MS Office Update to version 13628.20274 - ms-word

I have problems with my Word Add-in. It doen't work.
After some investigation I figured out that this issue apears after Office update.
I mean in elder versions of MS Word was used Internet Explorer. But after update the engine is Microsoft Edge Legacy. Also I now that now exists new Microsoft Edge based on Chromium.
So the question is next, is there a way to make my MS Word use Microsoft Edge based on Chromium instead of Microsoft Edge Legacy?
In addition:
in my research I depends on data from this link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/office/dev/add-ins/concepts/browsers-used-by-office-web-add-ins
Also tried to install WebView2 but it doen't help.
Current Version of MD Office: 13628.20274
Current Version of Word: 16.0.13628.20234
Will be grateful for any information related to my issue.
Thank in advance and have a nice day))

Check your Office installation. Build 13628.20274 is a release in the Current/Monthly Channel but is from January 2021. With this build the WebView2 control should be included and installed automatically. But, as you are several months behind the usual update schedule, your administrator might have put some restriction in place that prevent normal update installation.
As you installed the WebView2 control manually, you should double check that it is enabled in Office. The registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\WEF\Win32WebView2 must exist and must have a value of 1 (DWORD).

VS Code Microsoft Edge Developer tools not found

I was very eager to try out the Microsoft Edge Developer Tools Plugin for VS Code...
I installed the extension, and when I went to launch it VSCode gives the error message:
"Microsoft Edge could not be found. Ensure you have installed Microsoft Edge and that you have selected 'default' or the appropriate version of Microsoft Edge in the extension settings panel."
I do have 'default' selected. And have tried searching around for a solution.
No luck yet... I'd appreciate any advice... thanks!
I'd recommend providing more information about the issue you're experiencing so others can test and try to replicate it. There are multiple Microsoft Edge tools in the VS Code Marketplace, so providing a link to the one you're trying to use is advisable. Additionally, it's helpful to provide the version of MS Edge and VS Code you currently have installed.
That said, assuming you're trying to use Microsoft Edge Tools for VS Code, the documentation says, "This extension only supports Microsoft Edge (version greater than 80.0.361.48)".
Thus, I'd recommend you start troubleshooting by making sure both your Microsoft Edge and VS Code are updated to the most recent versions.
If that doesn't fix the issue, please provide more details about your setup - potentially including screenshots - that can help to diagnose the issue.

Creating an MSI with Installshield

I have followed the following guide to try and create an MSI to deploy a VSTO add in for Outlook. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc442767.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
I have carefully followed this guide on two occasions, ensuring in particular that I placed the registry keys in every place I can imagine they would be need to be in order to be detected.
The MSI is created successfully and installs successfully also, the problem is that when I run Outlook after the MSI is installed, Outlook does not recognize the Add In and load it.
If I use Click once to install the add in it is recognized by outlook without any issue. The problem with that is that we want to install the application silently using SCCM and clickonce cannot be deployed silently.
What could possibly be going wrong?
The issue in this case, was that the guides code for installing the prerequisite "Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime" did not work properly and the prerequisite was not installed.
Any user that needs to run the add in will need the VSTO tools from this link installed

Hopefully this will be of some help to anyone else
EDIT: For anyone in the UK - The registry entry "LoadBehavior" must be spelled exactly as it appears here. I used the UK spelling "LoadBehaviour" and it was the sole reason my install was not successful. I was held back for several days due to this.

WIX Office installer not uninstalling Plugin

I have created a WIX Install MSI file for my Office Outlook Plugin. Everything runs fine however when i uninstall it through add/remove programs everything is removed except for the Plugin in Outlook. It runs but gives errors because the other components are now missing. How can I get it to remove it without going to Outlook and removing the plugin manually?
I have added the "RemoveFolder" tag in the XML which has no effect.
I'm guessing that you are doing some kind of active setup trick to do HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry propogation. I'd suggest not doing this and instead register the extension in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This way when the uninstall runs it can access all of the components that need to be removed. There are gotchas in terms of different patch versions of different versions of office and how they behave in terms of supporting per-machine registration of AddIns. Details can be found in blog articles that I've written over the years titled VSTO lessons learned.

How do I tell I have Standard or Professional Edition?

We're using DataDynamic ActiveReports .Net 3.0 on Windows-XP and we're looking to upgrade to the latest version for Windows-7. Then we ran into a problem. We could not tell which Edition (standard or professional) are we using. I tried Google search adn it wasn't very helpful. We looked in the "Program Files" and in the "Data Dynamics" folder, we found there's no executable file. So, we don't know what we have.
Thanks...
It depends on your serial number. The installation is the same for both releases. Email or call the ComponentOne sales team with you serial number (or if you don't have the serail, send the registered user or purchaser) and they can tell you which edition you have a license for.
Alternatively, if you have the product installed on a developer machine already you could try just using the features that are included only in the professional edition (e.g. WebViewer, End User Designer Control) to see if they are showing an "Evaluation" message or not. If they show an evaluation message when you run the product then you have Standard. If they don't, you have Pro.

Mercurial and SQL Server Management Studio GUI plugins?

Does no such plugin exist?
So to be clear, I realize that RedGate has their own SSMS SCC app, and I realize that VSS2k5 will integrate in. I'm looking to stay with Hg as that's where my source already is, and I'ld like to find something that my team can stay consistent with on their tools.
As is, I guess I'm going to have to just run it through TortoiseHg and a folder with manual maintenance. Which isn't terrible, but naturally it would be nicer if there was an app pre-existing that I could consume.
And no, I don't have the time or inclination to write one myself. Not before Summer 2011.
Thoughts or ideas?
There are two versions of HgScc plugin:
HgScc - uses old MS SCCI API, works with MS VS2005/2008/2010 and with some third party IDEs. Last version of this plugin was released in 2008. It is not actively developed anymore, because MS SCCI API is very limiting and does not allow a tight integration with Visual Studio.
HgSccPackage - uses MS SCC Package, works only with MS VS2008/2010. This version of plugin currently in active development.
To get the first version of HgScc follow the instructions here:

Red Gate SQL Source Control is looking into supporting Mercurial in a future version, http://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/39019-sql-source-control/suggestions/803713-mercurial-support-as-source-control-system.
SQL Server 2012 (Denali) is using the Visual Studio 2010 Shell as the basis for the new Management Studio. I haven't tried it yet but I am hoping that tools such as VisualHg will work in Sql Server 2012. I will update this post after I get on my laptop that has the 2012 SQL Management Studio installed.
Have you tried hgscc? I know it integrates with Visual Studio, but I haven't tried it with SSM
