Yes you can using an ordinary VS merge module project however there are differences depending on whether it is for Office 2003 or 2007. Which one are you deploying to?<br />

Thank you for your response, Pete. &nbsp;I need to distribute both an Excel 2003 add-in and an Excel 2007 add-in, presumably in separate merge modules. &nbsp;Also, I require that the user who runs the installer have administrative privileges. &nbsp;Thank you.

Hi. &nbsp;I need to include installation of a VSTO-based Excel add-in, created in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, into our existing installer. &nbsp;A merge module seems to be the easiest option. &nbsp;Is there a way to create a merge module for a VSTO add-in? &nbsp;Alternatively, are there other ways to include installation of this add-in? &nbsp;Thank you.

VSTO Merge Module

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
