Packaging..

[VJ]

I have a MSI that installs some Add-ins for office applications. This
package was generated by the Add-in project Wizard. How do I include this
project as part of the package I build for my application. I am using VS.NET
packaging

Thanks

So you want your clients to have the Add-In Project Wizard available in
their copy of VS.NET after running your install??

Why do you want to include the Add-In Project Wizard into your package??

No.. I developed a VB.NET application that I package using VS.NET packaging
project i.e Setup & Deplyoment projects.. I also have a Add-In project that
I created through Add-in project Wizard in VS.NET. This Add-in project i.e
application has its own package.

how do I merge these 2 packages. and make one single package. I tried to
create the Add-in package as a MSM, it won't work proeprly.. I would have to

Thanks

So your clients have VS.NET, and you want them to install an Add-IN?? To use
an add-in, they will need VS.NET installed on their desktop, right? An
add-in is for use in VS.NET only....it "adds" to VS.NET.

You can have several projects in a single solution, then create a setup for
the solution.
