copied!<p>While desirable indeed, this is unfortunately not possible, as analyzed correctly by Dos095-russ already in his answer to the identical question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/8353093/45773">How to specify AddIn process names?</a> (+1 over there).</p> <p>To make the bounty worth your while a bit at least, I'll add some context though:</p> <p>The <em>Filename for that process is hardcoded</em> in the constructor of the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.addin.hosting.addinprocess.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AddInProcess Class</a> due to the very purpose the class has been designed for, namely to <em>Provide[s] an external process for running add-ins out-of-process from the host application</em>. The specific mechanics are touched in the <em>Remarks</em> section:</p> <blockquote> <p>The executable that runs the add-in is obtained from one of two files installed with the .NET Framework under the Windows directory. By default, the executable that matches the bits-per-word of the host application is used. If the host is a 64-bit process, AddInProcess.exe is run; otherwise, AddInProcess32.exe is run. To specify the way the executable is selected, use the AddInProcess(Platform) constructor to create the AddInProcess object.</p> </blockquote> <p>The main reasons for why out-of-process add-ins might be needed <em>by some</em> applications are properly summarized in Danielg's answer to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/835182/choosing-between-mef-and-maf-system-addin">Choosing between MEF and MAF (System.AddIn)</a>. If those do actually not apply to your use case, you could explore the answers and links provided for <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/840441/45773">Is MEF a replacement for System.Addin?</a> in order to judge, whether the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) might be a better solution in fact - it's excellent for what it does btw., very easy to program with and widely used accordingly.</p>
