If you are developing in Microsoft® Visual Basic® 6.0, the easiest way to distribute a COM add-in is to include the add-in designer in the Add-in project and then create a setup program for the add-in. The user can install and register the add-in by running the setup program.

To create the setup program, run the Visual Basic 6.0 Package and Deployment Wizard on the Add-in project. When the user runs the setup program, all the files required for the add-in to run will be copied to the user's computer and registered.

For more information about using the Visual Basic 6.0 Package and Deployment Wizard, see the documentation included with Visual Basic 6.0.
