silent install of VSTO Add-ins /Plug-ins for Office

I have couple of vsto addins for outlook and word that I 'd like to perform a silent install. There is a setup that doesn't accept any parameters which just checks for ..NET installation if its not found then it downloads it if finds then it will continue to with installing the .vsto file. I can actually double click on the .vsto file and it will verify the publisher and then make me click on ok button it will install it without even having to run setup as long as .NET is installed. I believe the add-ins/plug-ins was created by visual studio click once technology.

I can do a silent install of .NET so that's no problem. But is there a way so that I can silently install the vsto add-ins for office?

Thanks.

We're running across the same issue. We've created a Add-in / Plug-in for outlook and tried deploying the EXE after the Visual Studio build that didn't work. the .VSTO file wouldn't load.

Not sure what else there is to do.

PDQ Staff any advice

for deploying click once applications silently

I can install it silently : vstor_redist.exe /q /norestart

But there is no exit code.
