    Deployment of MS Word addin with inno setup

    Hello,
    I am using inno setup to deploy the application.
    As a part of application I deploy MS Word addin.

    In order to do this I create setup.exe file in VS2005. Then I run thin file by Inno setup command.

    The file creates 3 dll files in target PC:
    MyAppAddIn.dll
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll
    Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.dll

    There is no way to run this setup as hidden, so the installation process is not elegant.

    I would like to install these 3 DLLs with Inno setup, without running setup.exe created by VS2005.

    Anybody knows how to do that?

    Thanks in advance.
    Alex

    Ola,

    Why is it important to install these files hidden?

    You can use the /SILENT methode in INNOSETUP.

    VSTO creates setup.exe file that installs Word add in.

    I activate this file (setup.exe) from inno setup installation file that installs other stuff.

    Setup.exe can't run hidden, so installation is not elegant and doesn't look professional.
