I have a Office Add-in built in VS.Net 2003. I've been trying to move
from the default Windows Installer for Office Addins to Installshield
11.... with no success.
The windows installer works fine and the Addin comes up in all office
applications.
I then switched to an Installshiled Basic MSI project. Added the DLL
and the TLB and its dependencies to the Application Files. Built both
the Debug and Release versions. Nothing works.
After reading some previous posts :
1) I tried adding registry keys manually. but not sure if I missed any
out
2) I found a post that wanted the "self register" option for the dll.
Tried that but got a "Cannot self register the dll".
3) Tried even self registering the tlb. This gave no error but didn't
do anything
4) Tried creating a simple Addin with just the installshield setup.
That didn't work either.
5) Tried this solution
http://community.installshield.com/...ighlight=add-in but don't know
how to make it work or if it even works
Can any one please help. Just basic steps to create a simple Addin and
then wrap an Installshield setup around it would be appreciated.
