I'm searching the way in order to properly deploy a Visio 2010 Add-in. I tried to publish it via ClickOnce, and it does the job. But I would like to have just one file, in Setup.exe style. So I oped for a Setup Project, unfortunately with no success. The files are copied, I see it under the Programs list, but the add in is not registered. Perhaps you know how to check if Visio 2010 is installed during the installation process, if not abort it, and then register the add in? Any other solution?
