I am currently trying to build an Add-in for Outlook 2010. I am following the instructions under
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mcsuksoldev/archive/2010/07/12/building-and-deploying-an-outlook-2010-add-in-part-1-of-2.aspx
Sadly I am stopped pretty much right away when I try to open up the "Outlook 2010 Add-in" Template in Visual Studio 2010 Premium. The "Outlook 2010 Add-in" Template is missing, as are all Office related Templates. There should be an Office Node containing all the Office related Templates in the "New Project" Window. This node is missing.
What is the problem?
Ps: it is missing for all programming languages.

I am working on making a Outlook Add-in for Outlook 2013. The issue is, I use Visual Studio 2010. I did some googling and found that I need the Developer Tool Kit and it lead me here. I installed the tool kit, but I am still not seeing any new Templates. What am I doing wrong, or what can I do to get that Outlook Add-in?
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately VSTO allows creating version-specific add-ins. VSTO 2010 (Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime) is shipped with Visual Studio 2010 Professional edition or above. It supports creation and editing of document- and application-level add-ins for Office 2007 and Office 2010. You need to use later Visual Studio versions for creating COM add-ins for Office 2013. However, you can run solutions in Office 2013 that were created in earlier Visual Studio versions, see Running Solutions in Different Versions of Microsoft Office for more information.
I'm trying to develop a Word Document add-in through Visual Studio 2013, using a Word 2010 Document selected from the Visual Studio project menu of Office/SharePoint Office Add-ins. It is needed to tie in SharePoint 2013 with a collaborative Word document. I keep getting the error message:
Project cannot be created because the "Word Visual Studio Design-Time Adaptor Add-in" is not working correctly. Word might have disabled the add-in or made it inactive, or all add-ins might be disabled in your Trust Center settings. Check the add-in status in Word Options. If the add-in is active and enabled, reinstall or repair Visual Studio Tools for Office.
I have checked that there is no disabled add-ins in the Trust Center, and I do see the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime in the Add-ins. I cannot find any other options, as I have reinstalled the Visual Studio Tools for Office as well.
Where should I go from here?
I had the same problem, turned out that one of the updates was causing the problem. (Breaking the VSTO plug-in in some way)
What I did was reinstall Office, and I manually told Microsoft Update not to install updates that were launched after Oct 2016, I could then create Document-Level projects again.
I am trying to create setup for outlook add-in which will have some custom forms opening when setup is in progress.
I tried to find how to do it but I found it for old versions of visual studio.
Any one have any idea how we can do it in visual studio 2013 ?
See the Deploying an Office Solution section in MSDN for Visual Studio 2013.
How can I create a Visual Studio 2010 add-in with a user-interface? I want my add-in to have a window that can be pinned, just like the "Output", "Task list", "Error list" and all the other extensive windows in Visual Studio.
Where can I find documentation on add-ins with such user-interfaces to get me started? I can only find documentation on the actual coding.
Although there is some Microsoft documentation for writing add-ins, I recommend you start at Carlos Quintero's Resources about Visual Studio .NET extensibility. There are many how-to articles and links to a variety of documentation.
I figured out that what I needed was Visual Studio 2010 packages.
Fear not, these packages can be made in managed languages too (C# and Visual Basic). However, they require the Visual Studio 2010 SDK, which I didn't have installed.
It's very easy to make, and is done without hassle! Furthermore, it's cool, since the UI of the addins allow WPF!
I need to develop an Outlook add-on. I must support Office 2003 and office 2007 (not 2010).
Can I do the work on Visual Studio 2010? is it equipped to handle older outlook versions like 2003? or would I have to do the work on VS2005 or VS2008?
There is no support for Office 2003 addons in visual studio 2010, but there is support for 2007 and 2010.
To create a new Outlook project in Visual Studio
Start Visual Studio.
On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
In the templates pane, expand Visual C# or Visual Basic, and then expand Office.
Under the expanded Office node, select the 2007 if you have Outlook 2007 installed, or select the 2010 node if you have Outlook 2010 installed.
In the list of project templates, select Outlook 2007 Add-in or Outlook 2010 Add-in.
In the Name box, type FirstOutlookAddIn.
Click OK.
