Hi,
I juste created a Word 2003 Add-in using a Shared Add-in project. It works on my machine. I see in the registry the name of my application.
In My Documents, there is a setup in the Visual Studio 2005\Projects\MySetup\MySetup\Debug folder.
I copy the folder on another machine. I run the setup and I get an error of File Not Found.
Need help.Thanks.

Never mind. I forgot to add a file in my project.
My technique to deploy a shared add-in project on another machine: First you need to have PIA's for Office 2003 and Microsoft .NET Framework installed on the machine.
On the machine you are developping, go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908002
and click Download the VS2005-KB908002-ENU-x86.EXE package now. Install it.
In your project, right-click on the ProjectNameSetup in the solution explorer and select Properties. Click the prerequesite button and select Shared Add-In Support Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 for Debug and Release configuration.
Right Click the ProjectNameSetup again and Build.
In your development folder Example : My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\MyAddin\MyAddinSetup\Debug you will find setup.exe, MyAdminSetup.msi and a folder named KB908002.
Copy all of these files to the other machine and run the setup.
Should work! Good Luck !
