Install an Add-in on client computer

[neoret]

Hello.

I need some help on how to instal my add-in on a computer that doesn't
have .net installed.
My add-in is a shared add-in developed in Visual Studio with C#.

Several clients are to install my program. What about the PIA's??

Thanks for any hints you can give me

I'm not really familiar with developing shared Add-in, but I've used
NSIS to develop an installation script to install a VBA Add-In. NSIS is
an open source, free tool to develop installers and has a very
full-featured scripting language that is used to program the
installation.

You should be able to find an example script on the NSIS website or
forum describing how to check the registry to determine if the .NET
framework is installed. If it's not you can either programatically
download and install it or quit the installation and direct the user to
the download site.

My VBA Add-in installation script is posted in this group (Subj: NSIS
VBA Add-In Installer) and on the NSIS forum. But be aware that the
registry keys required to install a shared Add-In are different. You
may want to check the Microsoft Knowledge Base and Developer Net
websites for more details on how to install a shared Add-in.

Hopefully others can provide more on the details of installing the
Add-in.

Isn't the .net Framework required ?
