Deploy Outlook 2007 Add-In using Windows Installer (.msi)

[Lacmontagne]

Hi!
I have Outlook add-in created in VS 2008 that I'd like to deploy on Vista
clients using an .msi-file. I followed the white paper instructions at MSDN
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc563937.aspx) and everything works
fin e except for one thing. When I run Outlook the first time after running
the setup-file, which seem to work fine without exceptions, the Add-In is not
installed. But If I run the .vsto-file from the install folder the Add-In
gets added to Outlook and works from there on. All seems right in registry.
My key gets added to “Outlook/Addins/MyCompany.MyAddin†and the minfest
string gets resolved to C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Roaming\MyCompany\
Manufacturer \MyAddIn.vsto|vstolocal.
What am i doing wrong here?

It's hard to say if you don't quote the original issue.

It's not really you're fault though; it's EggHeadCafe which is leeching off
