I have created a few add-ins i.e. DuplicateHighlighter.xla which I have distributed to co-workers. The add-ins are e-mailed over with a series of instructions on where to save the add-in and how to load it in Excel. The problem that I have is that some co-workers are not as IT literate as others. Some times the PC has files and folders set to hidden and they can't follow the pathway i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\Jak\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns as the Application Data folder is not visable. While other co-workers would be happier if the add-in was done automatically with an .exe approach. Once the add-in is in the desired folder the co-workers do not have a problem installing it.
I would appreciate some insight on how to make the add-in executable and load the add-in to the right folder as in the pathway posted would be slightly different for each user as their own name in the pathway i.e. Jak might be Bill or John etc.
All suggestions welcomed, Thanks
