Your synchroniser has been running flawlessly since I started using it. I upgraded to version 1.5.3 on the 14th November 2015 and it continued to work fine until this morning (17th November 2015) when I received the following errror

caldavsyncerror

Clicking the Details button gives the following text:-

Name:
From: file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Gerhard >Zehetbauer/CalDavSynchronizer/CalDavSynchronizer.vsto

************** Exception Text **************
System.TimeoutException: The deployment manifest could not be downloaded because a connection >to the network could not be established. Ensure that you can connect to the network, and try again.
at >Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Deployment.ClickOnceAddInDeploymentManager.GetManifests(TimeSpan timeout)
at >Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Deployment.ClickOnceAddInDeploymentManager.InstallAddIn()

This prevents Outlook from loading any further plugins and prevents it from starting up.

I do have a network connection. Any suggestions?

No firewall or proxy issues on the network? Maybe try to manually uninstall and reinstall the plugin.

No, there are no firewall/proxy issues and I have uninstalled/re-installed several times this morning.
As I say, it worked fine since Saturday and suddenly failed today.
I'm not sure what network it is referring to. Is this .net trying to contact our Exchange server?

I tried it with my AV switched off and still the same problem.
I am using Outlook 2016 on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

So the question is, what changed suddenly since our plugin is the same obviously. Any Windows Updates regarding .net or vsto runtime or Office?

Exactly.

The last update logged is 12th November which pre-dates the installation of 1.5.3. Nothing on our network has changed, which makes this quite a mystery.

Where will the deployment manifest referenced in the error message be stored? Is that part of your plugin?

That seems to have sorted it. I did the following:-

  • Un-install caldavsynchronizer
  • Run rundll32 dfshim CleanOnlineAppCache
  • reboot
  • re-install caldavsynchronizer

Thanks for the help, I probably wouldn't have found that SO question as I wouldn't have made the connection between that and my issue.

Good news, at least we have a solution for such problems now!
