Hi folks,
Hoping somebody can shed some light on a problem I have, per the thread title.
I'm not a great user of add-ins, so this problem has probably been around (for me) for some considerable time and I just haven't noticed. Anyway, whilst in the process of developing my own add-in, I noticed that it would occasionally fail to load with the IDE. Upon inspection, this was quite clearly due to the fact that it was no longer 'available' for some reason; i.e. it was missing from the Add-Ins Manager.
Assuming it was a problem with my add-in, I began to troubleshoot, gradually stripping-out functionality until I came across the troublesome part. In the end, I was left with just the Wizard template code (i.e. an add-in that did nothing), yet still the add-in would sporadically disappear.
It turned out, after several hours of painstaking observation, that this disappearance occurred only when I ran a project. In other words, I could fire up the IDE over-and-over, and the add-in would load. But, as soon as I hit F5, the add-in was destined to be gone the next time I started the IDE.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled VB6, and the problem hasn't gone away. Any suggestions? Has anybody else encountered this?
EDIT: Forgot to mention: Win 10, 64-bit
