Add-in loads but clicking the button doesn't do a thing

I have been working on an add-in for Inventor 2012 and the debugging went well. Works perfectly fine. I installed the .dll file and .addin file on another users machine and loaded the add-in. The button appears where it should and everything looks great. However, when you click the button, nothing happens. It was done as a registry free add-in, all the GUID's match, the assembly uses the full path and filename of the .dll. Cannot seem to figure out why the button is not working on his machine. Only thing I can think of is I am using Professional while he is using the standard level of Inventor. Any suggestions?

 

Inventor 2012 Professional

Visual Studio 2010

Windows 7 Professional

Please confirm that you have added buttons OnExecute section is added with the action.

Yes, Button.OnExecute is present and named correctly. It also is set and typed correctly to trigger the right module. Everything worked correctly on my machine but when I gave another user the .dll and .addin files, it loaded and displayed the button but the button is dead.

Discovered that I was copying the wrong .addin file. It's always something simple.
