Hi Ken,

Thanks for the answer. Sorry for not giving the details. I am using Visual
Studio 2005, VSTO and Microsoft Windows XP is my OS.

I actually prepared the installation files form one quite extensive article
in MSDN which was very helpful. I do not know which one you are referring to.

What is shared adding by the way. Would be grateful if you can provide some
information on that.

Regards,
Aninda

What version of VS, Outlook and Windows? Shared addin, VSTO or unmanaged
code? Language used? You need to provide enough information to at least
allow us to guess at an answer.

If this is managed code have you looked at the deployment articles for
managed code addins?

When I install Dmitry's Outlook Spy or any other third party outlook
plugin,
it installs as a dll file and shows as "PluginName.dll" in the plugin
section of Outlook. But when I am creating my own outlook plugin and
installing it, it is showing as "MyPlugin.manifest.dll." How can I create
and
install an outlook plugin as a cool dll? Why is the "manifest" file
extension
coming inbetween?

PS: I am using visual studio.net's own installer to create the
installation
files.
