| CODE |
Dim oXL, oAddin, sPathToXLA Set oXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application") oXL.Workbooks.Add sPathToXLA = Session.Property("CustomActionData") Set oAddin = oXL.AddIns.Add(sPathToXLA, True) [COLOR=red]oAddin.Installed = true[/COLOR] oXL.Quit Set oXL = Nothing |
To delete addin I've made Custom Action with the same code as mentioned above But property
| CODE |
| Installed |
is setted to
| CODE |
| False |
. It should remove the add-in.
But this CA removes addin only for current user! When Excell is launched under some another user, dialog with error message is appears: ""c:\Program Files\SomeAddin.xla could not be found".
The reason of this error: value (it contains full path to addin file) under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Options" registry key in each user account.
Can somebody tell me how can I solve this problem
PS: sorry for my bad english

IN pkg added Custom Action with condition
| CODE |
| REMOVE="ALL" |
This CA will call reg.exe:
| CODE |
| reg.exe ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{585DB6F1-4072-4BC7-BFC1-575D4F95DFC0}" /v StubPath /t REG_SZ /d "cscript [SystemFolder]RemoveExcellAddin.vbs [AddinFileName]" /f |
Component with RemoveExcellAddin.vbs file marked as msidbComponentAttributesPermanent
This script will:
- detect current version of MS Office;
- search required OPEN value in "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\OfficeVersion\Excel\Options". And del this value.
