But in my prerequisite components list, there is no Extensibility. and there
is only MS office 2007 PIA.

How can I add prerequisite list which is not in "Choose which prerequisites
to install" list? I went to "Check Microsoft Update for more redistributable
components" and installed ".Net 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2 bootstrapper packages".
but Extensibility never in the prerequsite list.

Also any guide on how to create setup.exe programatically? currently it
seems the setup project is auto generated and I am only able to change some
attribute in the properties list and setup.exe and .msi file will be auto
generated during build.

Thanks.

You need to set up prerequisites for not only Extensibility but also the
PIA's in case they aren't installed. For Office 2003 you need both the
redistributable PIA's and Extensibility (that also installs stdole). For
Office 2007 you only need the redistributable PIA's package which also
installs Extensibility and stdole.

Your prerequisites should check for Office version installed and whether or
not the PIA's are installed.

A setup.exe will handle the prerequisites, the msi can't do that.

BTW, by installing ExtensibilityMSM.msi on the target machine with office
2003, the problem is solved.

However, how can I make the extnesibility.dll included in my add-in setup
.msi file? so that users with outlook 2003 don't need to install 2 things
at
once.
