Hi all,

I have created an outlook 2007 Addin using C#, VSTO 3.0,VS 2008 and created
an msi installer for same... Everything working fine..

Now I want to launch the addin (In this case the outlook itselt)
automatically after the completion of installation of the addin...

So I think I have to run the OUTLOOK.exe programmatically . I got the
location of OUTLOOK.exe from registry
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240794).
But when I execute the code the outlook opens and asks to configure the
account...

am i executing the wrong exe? Or is there is any other way to launch the
addin programmatically?

Thanking you in advance
Jaz

If your addin is registered correctly then starting Outlook will start your
addin. If Outlook was just installed and wasn't configured with an email
account you will always be prompted to set one up on the first startup of
Outlook.

No idea. Show the code you use to start Outlook after your installer runs.
