Event 4096 is logged if the WarmUp entry is set for VSTO add-ins in Outlook
Original KB number: 4017116
Summary
When you install and register Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) application-level Add-Ins for Microsoft Office, there's an optional registry entry named Warmup
, which can be set.
The Registry entries for VSTO Add-ins explains as follows:
Entry name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Warmup | REG_DWORD | Optional. A value that indicates that the .NET Framework and Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime load before an add-in loads and reduce the perceived time to load an add-in. Set the Warmup entry to 1 and use this in conjunction with LoadBehavior entry to reduce the load time for Outlook 2010 add-ins that are deployed by using Windows Installer (.msi). This registry key cannot be set by using ClickOnce. |

If this entry is enabled (set to 0x1), the following event is logged in the Application log when the application starts and loads the add-in:
