MOD2000: $(OfficeAddinPath) Macro Does Not Install Files to the Office Addin Folder (236548)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office 2000 Developer
This article was previously published under Q236548 Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.
SYMPTOMS
When you try to use the $(OfficeAddinPath) macro from the "Package and Deployment" Wizard to install files into the Office Addins folder, you find that the macro installs the files into the application path.
CAUSE
The $(OfficeAddinPath) macro does not work in Microsoft Office 2000 Developer.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain Microsoft Office 2000 Developer Service Release 1 (SR-1).
To obtain SR-1, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
253566 MOD2000: How to Obtain and Install Microsoft Office 2000 Developer Service Release 1 (SR-1)
NOTE: The $(OfficeAddinPath) macro does not appear in the Install Location list after you install Office 2000 Developer SR-1. This resolution allows you to install files into the Office/Addins folder, whether the macro appears in the list or does not appear in the list.
To temporarily work around this problem, you can combine the other macros with a portion of the path. For example, if Office is installed in the Program Files\Microsoft Office folder, and you want to place the file in the Office Addins folder, you can set the Install Location to $(ProgramFiles)\Microsoft Office\Office\Addins.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Office 2000 Developer SR-1.
