This seems to have changed with the new messenger. I had an add in running in the previous version, it ran fine.

After i upgrade the add in isn't enabled any more and the add-ins option has disapeared from the menu. Some how this new messenger uses an other variable to allow use of the add-in. That is if this option is still available in this version.

I search the ms developers sites, but at this point there is no reference to anything that might be a solution to this case.
