I have created an Excel com add in using Add-in Express for Microsoft??? Office and .net. It works fine - no problems.

However, I now go to create the setup project by right clicking and "Create Setup Project" and I just get the New Setup Project Wizard but the "Visual Studio Installer", "Install Shield" and "Wix" radio buttons are all disabled. So, the "Previous" & "Next" buttons are als greyed out. The only button I can click is "Cancel" - I have tried running VS2012 as administrator - no joy.

This is on Windows 7 Professional 64bit,
Target compilation is 32bit.

Add-In Express Version: adxnet-v700-b4023-vs-std
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012
Version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.50709


Thanks in advance,
Tony

Hello Tony,

They have removed regular installer from Visual Studio 2012. And you have no WiX or InstallShield installed. That's why you get what you get. I'd suggest installing WiX -it's free. Note that Add-in Express doesn't support the InstallShield Limited Edition; this is because of limitations of its object model.

I'm sorry, I should have said: "They removed the regular setup project template from VS 2012."
