I'm following the excellent tutorial by Malte Ahrens on how to create a OneNote add-in.
Initially I followed it step by step, making a few changes (just renaming the class, and using my own name and GUID in the assembly) info. As I'm using VS2012 and am not yet ready to hand-roll a WiX installer I manually copied over the built dll to the correct place and also created a registry file to make the requisite entries. I confirmed that they were all there, loaded up OneNote but no add-in, going to "mange COM addins" section I saw the following error:
Load Behavior: Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in.
I spent some time debugging this but didn't get very far. So this afternoon I decided to start again but copy his code verbatim. I simply downloaded the example project, used the trial of Vdproj to Wix to create the installer and built everything.
I get the exact same error.
Why is this please? What does this mean and most importantly how do I debug the problem?
A few specifics about my environment and where it may differ from the original tutorial.
I am running Office 2013 AND it's 64bit. His tutorial is for 2010. This means when I loaded up the demo solution I had to remove the non-existent reference to the Onenote 14 Interop and add the v15 version.
In terms of registry entries they go to the right place, not the WOW6432 registry nodes. I doubly know this as if I load up OneNote and then refresh the HKCR registry node for the add-in, the LoadBehavior switches to 0x00000002, (disabled).
Other things that may be worth noting.
I have enabled OneNote logging and it's quiet on my issue.
There are 2 other posts on here with a seemingly similar problem (but Office 2010) here and here, neither got a response. The first guy had it loading once, but then had to manualy start it each time, mine never loads (and I've not signed my assembly) the second guy never got a response.
As I say, even knowing how to debug this further would be a great step forwards.
Edit:
I've gone back to debugging my own version, which is almost identical anyway as I'm not sure what the installer is actually doing and I think because it's a demo of the wix converter it's only allowing me to build for x86.
If I add OneNote.exe under "start external program" and run debug on my add-in, I see the following lines appear when I try and tick the add-in under "manage COM add-ins" within OneNote. I'm afraid I'm still pretty green at all this so I'm not sure what it means.

Also, since reading up more I think me simply copying my dll into the install folder program files\[manufacturer]\[application] (as I don't have an installer) was not enough. I've now executed this against my dll
PS C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319> .\RegAsm.exe
and it came back with
Microsoft .NET Framework Assembly Registration Utility version 4.0.30319.33440
for Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.0.30319.33440

Is there anything else I should be doing to register the dll correctly?
Enable logging for OneNote 2013:
Create a file "EnableOneNote2013APILogging.reg"
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\OneNote\Options\Logging]
"EnableLogging"=dword:00000001
"EnableTextFileLogging"=dword:0000001
"ttidLogObjectModel"=dword:00000001
"ttidLogObjectModelAddins"=dword:00000001
Create a file "DisableOneNote2013APILogging.reg"
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\OneNote\Options\Logging]
"EnableLogging"=dword:00000000
"EnableTextFileLogging"=dword:0000000
"ttidLogObjectModel"=dword:00000000
"ttidLogObjectModelAddins"=dword:00000000
This is based on http://blogs.msdn.com/b/descapa/archive/2006/12/08/debugging-the-onenote-api-enable-logging.aspx but you need to add EnableTextFileLogging ;-).
The logfile is created in %temp%\OneNote.log
For OneNote 2010 change the path in the .reg files to \14.0\ instead of \15.0\
