I am having some issues creating a setup file for my Outlook 2007 add-in.
The issue is that the Add-In needs to have a registry entry that references the manifest ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386106.aspx ). The project builds a manifest file that appears in my bin\\debug folder. However, in my setup project, if I go and add project output, the manifest is never listed as part of the output. Oddly enough, the Setup does create a registry entry that references my manifest in my bin\\debug folder but this is not suitable since that folder is not available on the machines where I will be deployed to.
Thanks.
====================================
for those interested, some background issues.
odd, eh?
I found this Microsoft white-paper on VSTO for office 2007 add-in deployment very useful: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc563937(office.12).aspx
(I initially linked to another paper which is also great, but applies to 2003 + 2007, which is somewhat different: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332052.aspx )
Specifically on the question of the manifest, I found out the hard way that when the registry key for the add-in had the same name as the add-in itself, for some mysterious reason during the build, the Manifest value was being silently replaced from the VSTO manifest to the add-in manifest.
