macro installation

Does anyone here have a link or some info about how to distribute
a outlook macro. Is there some directory i can copy the macro to, so it
will register itself or can a i make an MSI file ???

Thanks.

There's no built-in easy method for this. The best solution is to roll the
code into a COM addin. If that's too much, think export/import.

Thanks for the reply - i need to ship the macro to 5000 users through AD
so i think i will go with the COM addin, is there any book describing this
or will it perhaps help to upgrade to a newer version of visual studio (if
there is some build in feature to create COM addins).

See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/comaddins.htm for references and resources.
Randy Byrne's book spells it out in detail.
