IDTExensibility2 COM ADDIN how to remove

[DXJas]

I followed a tutorial on office add-ins to create a simple add-in for word.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302901

It worked great and put a little button on the toolbar in WORD.
But, It doesn't tell me how to remove it. The COM Add-in is not listed in
the following locations:
Tools->Templates & Addins
Tools->Customize->Commands->Categories:Tools->Commands:COM Add-Ins

How the heck do you remove it short of searching the registry and removing
the developed com object?

For distribution I'm guessing I would make a deployment project that would
properly uninstall it.

Some info would be helpful and appreciated.

I think I figured this one out. VS.NET creates the setup project as well.
(Didn't see that before). So, what I did was installed it using the setup
project and uninstalled it using the setup project and it was gone.

You uninstall it. Use the Add-Remove Programs control panel.

Charles,
You're correct for the enduser because they will use the installer to put in
on. But the developer computer is a different story.

According to step 9 of the article all of the registration is done by visual
studio so there is nothing to uninstall. The article leaves out the step of
manually removing all of the registry entries. Building the installer and
installing/uninstalling didn't remove the original entries.
