Managing Addins in Excel

[Lorin]

I'm just looking for some comments on managing Addins in Excel. Is it
better to use Addins.add or to put a key in the registry at
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins. I haven't had much success
adding addins by using Addins.add. They are really hard to get out of the
list.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying the Excel's Addin manager will
see the key at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins and then make 2
other keys somewhere else? I've been testing just adding the registry key
and it works, but the Addin doesn't appear in the Addin list in Excel and it
isn't in the VB editor.

When I use Addins.Add it seems almost impossible to get the Addin out of the
list in Excel. At least, I couldn't do it programmatically.
