If all the (un)installer does is unpack the xla to file and write/remove
the necessary registry entries -
First it should check if Excel is running and if so advise user to quit.
The xla should create and destroy all it's toolbars and buttons in the
respective load/unload events and not in the AddinInstall/Uninstall
events.

If the installer creates an automated instance of Excel to install and
uninstall the addin, note that events are disabled. You could use include
Auto_Open and Auto_Close macros to create and destroy menus, see
RunAutoMacros

I can of cause delete the file Excel11.xlb to delete ALL custom
toolbars... but thats really not an option!


No don't do that!

Hi,

I have made an Excel Add-In that I instal using an homemade MSI package -
this of cause activates the Add-In in Excel so the user are ready to
work...

BUT uninstall... well it works fine - removes the xla file and cleans the
reg.db but the toolbar in Excel remains there..

I can of cause delete the file Excel11.xlb to delete ALL custom
toolbars... but thats really not an option!


Any ideas to how remove the toolbar for my add-in when the uninstaller
does it's job?


Thanks,
Flemming
