If you are using VSTO then these two Office add-in articles on MSDN will help you.
1. Registry Entries for Application-Level Add-Ins http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386106.aspx 2. Deploy add-ins that use VSTO3: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc563937.aspx The second article is explained using Excel add-in and VS setup project. For WiX the add-in registry keys would translate to something like this: <DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLLOCATION"> <Component Id="AddInRegistration" Guid="YOUR-GUID-HERE"> <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\MyAddIn.Outlook.2007" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall"> <RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Manifest" Value="[INSTALLLOCATION]MyAddIn.Outlook.2007.vsto|vstolocal" KeyPath="yes"/> <RegistryValue Type="string" Name="FriendlyName" Value="$(var.ProductName)" /> <RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Description" Value="$(var.ProductDescription)" /> <RegistryValue Type="integer" Name="LoadBehavior" Value="3"/> </RegistryKey> </Component> </DirectoryRef> -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: Monday, 13 December 2010 9:25 a.m. To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Register Outlook Add-in with Wix IIRC, you don't need a custom action at all. You just need to get the right registry keys set. There is (or was) documentation somewhere in MSDN that details all the configuration requried.
