Hi
I need to create installer package for outlook 2003 & 2007 i have 2007
figured out with ClickOnce. BUt my question is if i make this installer MSI
will it also create a uninstall file? if not how can we uninstall the add-in?

Also how can i create a MSI for outlook 2003 add-in using vs2008?

Thanks

If you use the Windows installer then removing the program is done from the
Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs (or equivalent in Vista). You don't have
to do anything special. If this is a VSTO addin you need the various custom
actions listed in the deployment article for VSTO.

Outlook 2003 addins don't support ClickOnce, so just add a setup project to
your addin project and configure the setup project to produce your
installer.
