Debugging

To debug an add-in you must tell Visual Studio the full path to the Excel executable and what add-in to load.
In the project Properties in the Debugging tab the Command should be

$(registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\excel.exe)

To have Excel open your add-in when debugging and specify the default directory set Command Arguments to be

"$(TargetPath)" /p "$(ProjectDir)"
