Compiled with VC8 configuration "Release CRTDLL", the XLL will have a run time
dependency on MSVCR80.dll.  Certainly if the dependency walker indicates that
that dependency is unsatisfied then it would explain the error "not a valid
add-in".  Normally if you test the XLL on the same machine on which it was
compiled then this error doesn't occur.  I have never heard of this problem
being triggered by a full rebuild.

The best is to use TortoiseSVN to check out the root directory of the
repository trunk as described in my earlier message.

No problem, happy to help, I'm optimistic that a clean start will fix the
problem, please keep me posted.
