Hi - I am afraid I need some help

Here is the script I am running for an Addin installation and unfortunately
the Excel object created do not dissapear after putting it to nothing... I am
then obije to kill it and the installation is not done...

Here is my script... the xla file is suposed to be already available...

Set appXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set objFileToInstall = oFSO.GetFile(objTargetFolder & "\" & file.name)
For Each objAddin In appXL.Application.addins
If objAddin.name = ObjFileToInstall.Name then
If Not objAddin.installed Then
On Error Resume next
objAddin.installed = True
If Err < 0 Then
WScript.Echo " ... " & "Err.description: " & Err.Description
Else
WScript.Echo " ... " & objAddin.name & " installed..."
End If
Else
WScript.Echo " ... " & objAddin.name & " already installed..."
End If
End If
Next
Set appXL = Nothing

Everything run properly except the "objAddin.installed = True" instruction
I have also tried
"appXL.Application.Addins.Adds(objFileToInstall.na me)"
then
"appXL.application.Addins(objFileToInstall.name).i nstalled = true
But not working neither...

Thanks for your help
Alain

In addition...

Assuming the file function.xla is already available in the default Addin
folder
If I run those lines in my script
Set appXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
appXL.Application.Addins.Add("addin.xla").Installe d = True

I get this error
Err.description: Unable to get the Add property of the AddIns class

Any idea ? Does it mean the Addin collection cannot b manipulated into
vbscript ?

Thanks
Alain

See if this works

Set appXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set objFileToInstall = oFSO.GetFile(objTargetFolder & "\" & file.name)
For Each objAddin In appXL.Application.addins
If objAddin.name = ObjFileToInstall.Name then
If Not objAddin.installed Then
On Error Resume next
objAddin.installed = False
objAddin.installed = True
If Err < 0 Then
WScript.Echo " ... " & "Err.description: " & Err.Description
Else
WScript.Echo " ... " & objAddin.name & " installed..."
End If
Else
WScript.Echo " ... " & objAddin.name & " already installed..."
End If
End If
Next
Set appXL = Nothing
appXL.Quit

Fantastic those two lines are the solution !!!
Great // Thanks to you // Alain

appXL.Quit
Set appXL = Nothing

Another additional information

If the Addin is already installed... the simple fact to run thos lines
create an Excel process that do not close... then I need to kill it through
task manager

Lines

Set appXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
If appXL.Application.Addins("addin.xla").Installed = True then
End if
set appXL = Nothing

As if the simple fact to manipulate the Addins collection was producing the
fact the Excel.exe do not close any more...

Thanks
Alain

How about something simple like....

application.addins.add objTargetFolder & "\" & file.name
