It would have been helpful if you would have posted the code you were
using.
I suspect that you were attempting to use a front end token as if it were
a function. Here is probably what you need to do.
ButtonBox[
"Click me to load package",
ButtonFunction :>
FrontEndExecute[FrontEndToken["EvaluateInitialization"]],
ButtonEvaluator -> None,
Active -> True
]
