Installation Of Add-In

[Derek Hart]

I wish to install a Word Toolbar, and it seems that an add-in is the way to
do it. Currently I am having my users simply locate the Startup directory,
and drop in a .dot file that has the toolbar, and the toolbar always
appears. But I would like to automate this. What are the best ways to do
this?

I tried just adding the template under Tools...Templates and Add-Ins, but I
find that I have to check it every time Word loads just to get it to show
the toolbar. As an interim process, is there a way to add it once and
always have it checked?

And the last item is that I would like to see this work in Word 2003 and
Word 2007. If that is not do-able, I would at least like a Word 2003
solution.

Please help!!!

I use Inno Setup with ISTool (www.istool.org), and make an installer for
them, to drop them in that directory.
