IM Client Integration with Outlook

RahulBhenwal on Fri, 08 Apr 2016 11:14:01

Hi,

I  am trying to understand the procedure of Integration the IM Client with Outlook 2010. The below link is used for this :-

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj900715.aspx

Outlook is able to reach the CreateInstance method of my implementation.

1. If I have the Lync Client installed than the controls reaches till GetInterfaceMethod, in which I am returning the object of ILyncClient.

There is no progress after this. Following error is showed in the outlook debugs :

MsoIMProviderFactory--HrEnsureDefaultIMAppRegKeys Succeeded opening reg key (HKCU-SOFTWARE\IM Providers\)

CMsoIMProviderFactory--HrEnsureDefaultIMAppRegKeys Succeeded querying reg key (HKCU-SOFTWARE\IM Providers\-DefaultIMApp-IMapp)

Guys please give your feedback regarding the same ?????

2. If I don’t have Lync Client Installed than control never reaches to Authentication Method. 

A. Do we need to implement the IMessenger interface also ?

B. If yes then please show some pointers on how to do that ?

Any pointers to resolve this would be helpful.

For building the COM server we are using out of process COM example(CSExeCOMServer). I had tried the same setup with outlook 2013 also.  In this too the output remains the same.

Environment :-

Windows 7 Service Pack1 .

Outlook 2010 & 2013.
