Add-in removal
When I uninstall an add-in from excel by uninstalling the application that
install the add-in when launching excel after the add-in has been removed excel says that it can't find the add-in. Is there a way to do this so that the a user is not given the error dialog? |

Add-in removal
Yes: by deactivating the addin within the excel instance THEN deleting the file. OR if excel is NOT running by deleting the OPENxxx value in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\E xcel\Options -- keepITcool | www.XLsupport.com | keepITcool chello nl | amsterdam Rob Hoffy wrote : When I uninstall an add-in from excel by uninstalling the application that install the add-in when launching excel after the add-in has been removed excel says that it can't find the add-in.

Add-in removal
any suggestions of doing this automatically(scripted) since the open value
could be different on each persons machine and if you delete OPEN1 and only have OPEN, OPEN 2, OPEN 3, etc only OPEN will get loaded since it reads them sequentially.

Add-in removal
I am working on a VERY elaborate VBscript...: checking if excel running. done. with WMI! reading registry entries. done. enumming with WMI, reading with wscript.shell checking files exist. done: basic scanning for all installed/opened files found in registry... todo: checking on duplicate installs in various folders. todo: checking for duplicate document titles... (since document titles are used as unique index in the addins collection, you cannot have 2 entries with the same title.. options to install/activate/uninstall done. options to scan multiple excel versions. done. options to open addins as readonly (/R parameter) etc.. deciding which addins to remove or add... deciding if and when to kill/rename/move files Rebuilding the OPEN series under options... That's a very minor problem. IF and when I get it working I'll make sure I advertise it :) -- keepITcool | www.XLsupport.com | keepITcool chello nl | amsterdam Rob Hoffy wrote : any suggestions of doing this automatically(scripted) since the open value could be different on each persons machine and if you delete OPEN1 and only have OPEN, OPEN 2, OPEN 3, etc only OPEN will get loaded since it reads them sequentially.
