    <p>I am surprised no one has answered this... I been researching Addins, so I will just dump a few links here. I am not sure you if you have already found the solution for what you were looking for but this can help others searching like me:</p> <p>The answer is installing vsto 3.0 addins for office does work for wix, but I dont know anything about this WixOfficeExtension? For me to get it working was not a simple task and you need quite a bit of things to get this accomplished correctly:</p> <p><strong>Step 1. Do I really want to use a VSTO?</strong></p> <p>See here: <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsto/thread/3f97705a-6052-4296-a10a-bfa3a39ab4e7/#)http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsto/thread/3f97705a-6052-4296-a10a-bfa3a39ab4e7/#" rel="noreferrer">http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsto/thread/3f97705a-6052-4296-a10a-bfa3a39ab4e7/#)http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsto/thread/3f97705a-6052-4296-a10a-bfa3a39ab4e7/#</a></p> <p><strong>Step 2. Ok VSTO is right read here:</strong></p> <p><em>From MS Misha Shneerson-- Deploying VSTO for 2007:</em> <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/mshneer/archive/2006/01/05/deployment-articles.aspx" rel="noreferrer">http://blogs.msdn.com/mshneer/archive/2006/01/05/deployment-articles.aspx</a> <em>Microsoft Deployment info here:</em> <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386179.aspx#" rel="noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386179.aspx#</a></p> <p><strong>Step 3. Do I need to install more than one addin at a time or want to use WIX cause I want it?</strong> Go to step 4.</p> <p>If not use the installer in visual studio and make your life easy... Here is Microsofts setup installer, easiest way: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc563937.aspx" rel="noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc563937.aspx</a></p> <p>Go here to find a a good summary of tips/ideas. I browse the forums for help as well here, very good site.(well summarized, geered for outlook but applicable to office): <a href="http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=42" rel="noreferrer">http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=42</a></p> <p><strong>Step 4. Wix</strong></p> <p>A)Get familiar with this you need it:<em>Registry Entries for Application-Level Add-Ins</em> <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386106.aspx#" rel="noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386106.aspx#</a></p> <p>B)Use the setup object based from windows installer in visual studio to generate an MSI file.</p> <p>C)Test that msi and make sure your addin works using the microsoft MSI. Trust me that many of the problems take you the most time here.</p> <p>D)Run dark.exe (in wix bin) and take a look at the registry settings that were created for the output file.</p> <p>E)Add these registry settings into your wix file.<br> --I did find this blog a little helpful, but it was for com addons for Excel: <a href="http://matthewrowan.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CCB05A30BCA0FF01!143.entry" rel="noreferrer">http://matthewrowan.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!CCB05A30BCA0FF01!143.entry</a></p> <p>F)Run and deploy. </p> <p>Note: I will add more here as I find more here. I am still learning Wix and what I can do with it in Terms of addins, etc. Wix is great, Office addins deployment is a royal pain.</p>
