I have created an add-in in PowerPoint 2013 (*.ppam format). This works fine when I open the actual add-in file. But when I add it to PowerPoint 2013 to auto load it via registry,

Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\PowerPoint\AddIns\MyAddin

REG_DWORD Value: "AutoLoad" - 1

REG_SZ Value: "Path" - C:\Documents\MyAddin.ppam

After that when opening PowerPoint 2013, PowerPoint crashes. This issue only occurs in PowerPoint 2013. It works fine in previous versions. What is the issue here?

I tried sample add-in with one line of code and it still crashes PowerPoint 2013.

    By any chance do you have Kaspersky's antivirus software loaded on the PC with PPT 2013? If so, google "kaspersky powerpoint addin" (remove the quotes) for more information. – Steve Rindsberg Jan 23 '15 at 15:34
  • Thanks. I tried on a computer without Kaspersky and it did not crash. – Codename K Jan 23 '15 at 18:17
  • That'd be the good news. The bad news is that unless Kaspersky has cleaned up its act, uninstalling it and even using their removal tool doesn't help; apparently reformatting and reinstalling everything is the only fix. – Steve Rindsberg Jan 23 '15 at 21:47
  • Some more info from Kaspersky's forum: http://forum.kaspersky.com/lofiversion/index.php/t277011.html (the short version: they don't care) – Steve Rindsberg Jan 23 '15 at 21:48
