Word Add-ins Part 2: When Add-ins Collide

When you build a VSTO add-in project, it installs the add-in on your development computer. Even if you close that project and start another, or even close Visual Studio entirely, all add-ins you have built will still run when you start the Office application on that computer. If you're not expecting the add-in to run, you might be surprized by what you see the next time you open the application or test a new project. This video shows how to easily uninstall add-ins from your development computer after you build them if you don't want them to run any more.

I love the whole idea of add-ins and your video is cool. I'm having an issue even starting. Using VS 2008 sp1 and VSTO 3 sp1 all I get when I run an add-in is an exception stating: "Loading this assembly would produce a different grant set from other instances".
