Installing Word Add-in

T

tartancli

Hi,

I developed a Word add-in in Visual c# .net, and have been testing i
in Microsoft Word running on the same machine that I developed it on
There were no real installation issues and it runs fine. I now want t
install the add-in in another computer (that doesn't have Visual c
.net installed).

I tried to install as per instruction at msdn
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q316723

which says to build the <addin>Setup project in Visual C#, copy ove
the resulting folder to the target computer and run setup.exe in thi
folder. I did this and the setup seemed to work fine but when
subsequently tried opening the add-in in MS Word, I got the erro
message "not a valid Office Add-in". Anybody got any ideas, I'd be ver
grateful?

Also, I noticed another msdn article about using a shim. How does thi
differ from the approach above? Is it just a security issue?

Thanks in advance
