If you are developing in Microsoft® Office XP Developer, the easiest way to distribute a COM add-in is to create a setup program for the add-in. The user can install and register the add-in by running the setup program.

Before you can create the setup program, you must compile the COM Add-in Project to a DLL.

To create the setup program, run the Packaging Wizard on the Add-in project, which was compiled to DLL. The Packaging Wizard will create a setup program that installs and registers the add-in DLL and any other necessary files but not the code.
