Hi, I've been developing a solidworks addin for our companies internal use and I am running into problems when trying to deploy it as an actual addin instead of a debug addin.

The addin itself is pretty simple, its meant to send a post request to another server when a button is clicked on a datacard. It works fine when in the debug mode, however when I add it as an official addin and restart my computer (its built in .NET), it fails with a 'file not found' error.

I've made sure that the release version of the addin has 'register for com interop' checked off, made sure the guid of the addin is in the appropriate spots in the registry under the solidworks addins.

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot from here, event viewer is showing a crash on explorer.exe related to it which I expect, but has no further information about what exactly failed. The solidworks local computer logs in the administration tool doesn't provide any additional information about failures either.

If anyone has advice for further troubleshooting at this stage, I would greatly appreciate it
