Best way to install/deploy a MS Project add-in

[Joe Mitchel]

I've developed a project add-in using C# and VS 2008 and now I need to
be able to deploy this to other machines. What is the best way to go
about deploying it?

 

[Ray McCoppin]

Using VS2008 create a ClickOnce deployment (setup project). Create a WSS
site to hold you Project Pro add-ins and tools. Deploy the ClickOnce file to
the WSS site, this will let you update the Deployment and the application
will automatically check for updates. All you have to do is send a e-mail
with the URL of the add-in to the client users.

Hope this helps

Ok so I gave this a try. I setup a cert, published the file (I used a
network share instead of a web site) and everything completed without
errors.

Then I ran the ClickOnce installer. I got 2 dialogs both without any
text. No error messages that I could find, nothing in the event log.

Any ideas?
