That looks very promising.

One of the major pain points in previous versions was moving stuff around. How does this impact the installations if say I moved my deployment stuff from \\server1\here-deployed-originally to \\server2\and-now-i-want-it-here ?

This is very easy now. The setup.exe itself is used to update the deployment manifest. for example

setup.exe -url=\\server2\and-now-i-want-it-here\deployme.vsto

.vsto is the extension for the deployment manifest.

Here are the other switches you can use.

-url or -componentsurl : Show the stored url and componentsurl for this setup.

-url=<location> : Sets the url source to the specified location.

-componentsurl=<location> : Sets the componentsurl to the specified location.

-homesite=<true or false> : When set to true, downloads the components from their vendors' web site, overriding the componentsurl.

Very nice feature...

Can Outlook Add-Ins be created with the Express Editions (beta)?

Hi, Good question. VSTO add-ins can only be created with Visual Studio Pro or above.

Kind regards,

Do Office 2003 Add-Ins (ie Outlook 2003) benefit from this?

Is Click-Once deployment compatible with Outlook 2003 Add-In projects?
