Configure to which app to register

Hello,

We currently have an add-in which register in Outlook, Word, Excel, Powerpoint.
I would like to allow to configure it to only register to (i.e.) Outlook. The configuration will be static and could be set in the App.config.
Is it a way to easily do that ?

If I correctly understood some previous reading, the AddinModule constructor is called when the add-in is registered. Is it a way there to configure to which app it should be registered ?

Thank you for your help

Thank you for your quick answer

So if I correctly understood , this is not really related to the msi itself.
I just need to modify the manifest deployed with the application, and specify the assemblyIdentity / supportedApps to the correct value ?

Seems quite simple, thank you

Yes, this can be controlled by the manifest.
