Setup project for Office Addin
As a word of advice, Outlook addins don't like being shared addins with
other Office applications. I often combine Word, Excel and PPT addins into one shared addin project but I always make Outlook addins as completely separate projects. How you'd do that would depend on what installer package you're using and what methods of deployment. ClickOnce would be different than a setup project, for example, if you are using the VS installer. InstallShield or Wise or Wix would also be different. The best places to ask this sort of question is whatever forum is relevant to your installer choice. You might find that there's no way to do what you want unless you use a starter program to get the choices and then call one or both separate installation packages. That could possible be on a Web page, depending on your installation and deployment methods and software. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

Setup project for Office Addin
The Word addin dll has to be registered of course, not only in \Addins, but
the CLSID's for he addin also need to be registered (usually somewhere in HKCR). -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

What I mentioned is usually all you have to do. If more is required I'd ask
the people who wrote your Word addin how to get it running. They'd know that more than anyone else would. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
