BUG: VBComponents Add Method Cannot Add a Form

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Start a New Add-In Project in Visual Basic. A form "frmAddIn" will be created automatically, with two command buttons, OK and Cancel.
2. Add the following line to the Click event of the OKButton:

         VBInstance.VBProjects(1).VBComponents.Add (vbext_ct_MSForm)
   
   						

3. If using Visual Basic 5.0, type "ADDTOINI" in the Immediate (debug) window and press the ENTER key. This step is not necessary if you are using Visual Basic 6.0.
4. Press the F5 key to run the project.
5. Start another instance of Visual Basic with a new standard EXE project.
6. Under the Add-Ins menu, select Add-In Manager, and then select "My AddIn" from the list.
7. Select the "My AddIn" item from the Add-Ins menu.
8. Click OK on the Add-In Form. You will get the error:
   Run-time error '-2147467259 (800004005)':
   System Error &h80004005(-2147467259). Unspecified error.

Steps To Work Around the Problem

1. Add a new form to the add-in project and save it in the Template folder under the Visual Basic folder as Form1.frm. (For example, C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VB\Template), and then remove the form from the project.
2. Change the code in the OKButton_Click event in step 2 above to the following code shown below.

         Private Sub OKButton_Click()
           VBInstance.VBProjects(1).VBComponents.AddFromTemplate _
           ("C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VB\Template\Form1.frm")
         End Sub
   
   						

   NOTE: Modify the path as appropriate for your environment. In Visual Basic 5.0, the default Visual Basic installation path is C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VB. In Visual Basic 6.0, the default path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98.
3. Repeat steps 3 through 8 in the "Steps to Reproduce the Problem" section. This time a form should be added to your project each time you click OK.
