First I'm deploying to Office 2007 and using VS 2008.
And when I created the project initialy it added a set-up project
automaticly. I was following some MS walk through. I Think it was this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb410115.aspx : Creating the Add-In
Solution
Since then I have a full project built arround this, I guess I could move to
the Office 2007 templates, assuming it will work. At this point I don't have
much faith in deploying Office solutions. All the documentation seems to be
a complete mess and there is very little in book form also.
I created a new template: Word 2007 Addin
When running from VS I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word,

Hello Eric,
I am sorry for that we are encountering the problem in the deployment.
From
your another post, I see that the problematical project is a VSTO one,
right? If not, please feel free to let me know the problem context so that
I can provide a future assistance.
Yes, there are some additional work need to do when we deploy a VSTO
Add-in, but that depends on which version of VSTO Runtime we are using.
The
following is the relationship between the project type and the runtime
version.
1.Office 2003 Add-in created by VSTO SE(Visual Studio 2005) uses the VSTO
Runtime 2.0
2.Office 2007 Add-in created by VSTO SE(Visual Studio 2005) uses the VSTO
Runtime 2.0
3.Office 2003 Add-in created by VSTO SE(Visual Studio 2005) uses the VSTO
Runtime 2.0
4.Office 2007 Add-in created by VSTO3 (Visual Studio 2008) uses the VSTO
Runtime 3.0
When we are working on the first three kinds of projects, Visual Studio
will create a default Setup project during the solution creating. In this
case, we need to take care of three things,
1.Prerequisites, include: Corresponding version of Office PIAs(Check it in
C:\Windows\Assembly to see if Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook 12.0
exists), VSTO Runtime 2.0, .NET Framework 2.0. Make sure we install these
before we install our Office Add-In.
2.Registry. This system default Setup project has already added the
registry information for us.
3.Permission. We need to manually add a custom action which is used to
grant permission to the Add-in assembly.
The following two MSDN documents are written for this scenario,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332051.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332052.aspx
If we are using the fourth project type, since the VSTO3 default
deployment
mode has changed to ClickOnce, Visual Studio will not create a Setup
project for us. However, we can still add a Setup project manually and
deploy our Add-in via the MSI. There is a step by step video for this in
the VSTO Team blog here,
http://blogs.msdn.com/vsto/archive/2008/10/02/how-do-i-deploy-application-le
vel-office-2007-solutions-with-windows-installer-mary-lee.aspx
Besides these, there is an unsupported tool named AddInSpy which can help
for general troubleshooting in Office COM Add-ins deployment. Have a look
at Andrew's article,
http://blogs.msdn.com/andreww/archive/2008/09/30/addinspy.aspx
Please let me know if my suggestion helps or not. If you have any other
questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know and I will be
glad to be of future help.
Best regards,
