Deploy VSTO Office 2007

[Luc]

After developing a small word add-in it seems, clickonce technology is not
as easy as expected.............(

When I install the application on another computer, I'm getting the error
below

Customized functionality in this application will not work because the
certificate used to sign the deployment manifest for xxxx is not trusted.

Do I buy a certificate before I can deploy an application?
Can someone explain step by step how to create a clickonce deployment for
Office?

FYI,
I've used visual studio 2008 Team

Thx for your quick response!!

Hi Luc,

The best place to get support for VSTO questions is the VSTO forum:

You don't have to buy a certificate, but in order to use ClickOnce you must
have one. If you work in a corporate environment that has a high-end server
(such as Windows 2003) it should be able to create a code-signing certificate
for you. This will be adequate for any use in-house. If you want to distribute
applications to others who aren't connected to your server, such a certificate
would be inadequate.

Otherwise, you can still deploy a VSTO solution as with earlier versions, by
creating a setup file (MSI).
