Zivver Office plugin - Troubleshooting disabled plugins
Introduction
This article is meant for administrators who want to troubleshoot problems concerning visibility of the Zivver Office plugin in Outlook.
The Zivver Office plugin can be disabled by Outlook. Outlook can disable the Zivver Office plugin when it only measures a slight delay in performance. When Outlook disables the Zivver Office plugin, you will no longer see the Zivver tab in Outlook on the top ribbon next to Help, or see the Zivver bar when composing an email.
Verify that the Office plugin is installed in Windows
Check if the Office plugin is installed when the Office plugin is not visible in Outlook. If the plugin is not installed, please check the Zivver Office plugin installation manual to install the latest version.
Check if the plugin is always active
The LoadBehavior value determines whether the plugin is loaded at Outlook startup. It depends which installation type you chose: Just me or For everyone.
If you chose Just me the LoadBehavior resides at one of these two locations:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\ZivverOfficePlugin.AddinModule
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\ZivverOfficePlugin.AddinModule
If you chose For everyone the LoadBehavior resides at one of these two locations:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\ZivverOfficePlugin.AddinModule
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\ZivverOfficePlugin.AddinModule
The most important values for the LoadBehavior are:
LoadBehavior = 0 (0x00000000)
The plugin is not loaded automatically at Outlook startup.LoadBehavior = 2 (0x00000002)
The plugin is not loaded automatically at Outlook startup. If the user starts the plugin manually and no problems occur, the LoadBehavior is set to ‘3’.LoadBehavior = 3 (0x00000003)
The plugin is loaded automatically at Outlook startup. If any problems occur, the LoadBehavior is set to ‘2’.
Follow the instructions in the Zivver installation manual if the DWORD value LoadBehavior
is missing.
Check if the users can deactivate the plugin manually
