I followed a tutorial on office add-ins to create a simple add-in for word. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302901 It worked great and put a little button on the toolbar in WORD. But, It doesn't tell me how to remove it. The COM Add-in is not listed in the following locations: Tools->Templates & Addins Tools->Customize->Commands->Categories:Tools->Commands:COM Add-Ins How the heck do you remove it short of searching the registry and removing the developed com object? For distribution I'm guessing I would make a deployment project that would properly uninstall it. Some info would be helpful and appreciated. Jas -- Jas
I think I figured this one out. VS.NET creates the setup project as well. (Didn't see that before). So, what I did was installed it using the setup project and uninstalled it using the setup project and it was gone.
You uninstall it. Use the Add-Remove Programs control panel. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Charles, You're correct for the enduser because they will use the installer to put in on. But the developer computer is a different story. According to step 9 of the article all of the registration is done by visual studio so there is nothing to uninstall. The article leaves out the step of manually removing all of the registry entries. Building the installer and installing/uninstalling didn't remove the original entries. Jason -- Jas "Charles Kenyon" wrote: > You uninstall it.
