# re: Deploying VSTO Office Add-Ins with Windows Installer

I have some reservations with the solution this article details.  Using VDPROJ and Installer Class custom actions aren't the best way to go.   I blogged a few months ago about deploying an application with a tray app,  2003 and 2007 add-in and I believe it's a better solution.
