Finally, is there any source I can look at? Like on github? Maybe I can figure it out.

The source hasn't been posted anywhere, no. That said, there's only a very small handful lines of code to loading the plugin specifically to get it in the menu bar. Those lines consist of the loading of the logging framework configuration, and some lines to grab the image files out of the inline resources. The configuration to get it to actually show up in the ribbon bar is actually basically all through an XML file that's installed during the installation of the add-in to office (i don't know where MS Office actually stores these), and not any actual code. It could be tripping up on grabbing out the image files for some reason. I can put together a build later with some extra debugging around that, and see if that yields any results.

The other log entries for loading the modules actually happen when you click a ribbon button, though, so it makes sense  that you wouldn't see those if you don't have the buttons to click.

I probably should have asked this previously, but have you gone to the "Customize Ribbon" section in the options to ensure that you have the DMsHelper ribbon option turned on?

nope,can't because it is not there

Hey there, here's a quick beta build i put together with extra logging info that it will spit out:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qal33lhkmrs2vel/v1.2.0-beta.zip?dl=0

This logs before any code is run so that i can see what code it's getting to and what it isn't. Doing some quick testing on my side, it looks like it should hit three total pieces of code during startup:
