I have created a project for an outlook web add-in. I can see the web add-in in the browser UI, and click everything appears to be correct.
However I cannot view it on the desk top version of outlook 2016. The directions say:
1. Open the Office Store, either in Outlook 2016 for Windows or Outlook on the web:
- In Outlook 2016 for Windows, choose the Store button on the Home tab.
- In Outlook on the web, choose the gear icon in the upper-right corner, then choose Manage integrations.
2. Click the text Click here to add a custom add-in.
3. Choose Add from file....
4. Browse to and select the tw-email-manifest.xml file from the root of the project folder, and then choose Open.
5. Review the warning prompt and choose Install.
6. Close the Office Store window. Your add-in will load in Outlook.
Followed the directions for Outlook on the web but when I get to In Outlook 2016 for Windows, choose the Store button on the Home tab. it directs me to the Office 365 Link https://store.office.com/en-us/appshome.aspx?productgroup=Outlook&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Anybody with ideas. When I use a default setup project out of VS 2017 everything runs fine, but attempting to create the project using Microsoft Office Add-in Project Generator - YO OFFICE! It will not have a MVC back end.
The direction came from this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/add-ins/addin-tutorial
