Registering an Add-in
You must register add-ins before you can use them.
To register an Add in
Copy the add-in to your machine.
Register the component by running Regsvr32.exe on the add-in.
Note This process registers the class identifier (CLSID) and programmatic identifier (progID), so that the add-in is CoCreatable.
From the Tools menu, choose Add-In Manager.
If the Add-In Manager is already open, close it and choose it again.
If the Add-In Manager list of add-ins displays the new add-in, you have successfully registered the add-in.
If the add-in is not displayed in the Add-In Manager, invoke Regedit and find the following registry setting: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0\Addins.
To create a new subkey, choose the Addins node, and then, from the Edit menu, choose New and Key, using the propID as the subkey name.
Select the new key, right-click the right pane of Regedit, and select New on the context menu.
Select String, enter Friendlyname, and press RETURN.
The new named value is selected.
Press RETURN and enter the name of the add-in as you want it displayed in the Add-In Manager.
Select New and String again, but this time enter Description.
Use the same procedure for the name to enter a description of the add-in.
Select String, New, and then enter LoadBehavior.
Use 0 for this value.
Select New and Integer, and then enter LoadBehavior.
Exit Regedit and choose Add-In Manager to see the name and description of your new add-in.
If the Add-In Manager is already open, close it and choose it again.
