Hi. Thanks for that. I still don't understand why the VSTO zone does not come up when you search for it on this site

Hi<br />
<br />
I have a VB.net Excel Add-in that I have been building for the past two years. The project files are around 50 MB and I wanted to find out which files are necessary for backing up so that I can save space.<br />
Our installation team only need the three files shown in the image.<br />
Are these three &nbsp;files sufficient for me to back up with too?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
