New features/fixesStaying with click-once installers, as Microsoft has made it totally impossible to create normal installers for vsto-addins, clusterf
ck some would say.
No code changes! New installer for Word 2007, separate download for Word 2007 and Word 2003.
RequirementsThe addins require .NET 3.5 SP1, Visual Studio Tools for Office and Office Primary Interop Assemblies. Should be installed as part of the setup... I hope! Else, go download from MSDN please!
InstallationTo install - download and unzip, then run
setup.exe. New buttons to enter the Writespace editor will be available in the VIEW tab of Word 2007 or the right-click popup menu of Word 2003 depending on which version you download and install. The Command Line and Iron Ruby files are zipped and contains no setups (see below).
UninstallationTo uninstall, just remove it from the add/remove programs tool in Control Panel.
Command Line ProgramThe command line "driver" for Writespace includes some simple functionality to open and save a text file in the full screen environment outside of Word. Should run well in the Windows 7 taskbar.
IronRuby SampleThere is also a small IronRuby sample program to do about the same thing as the command line program does. You'll have to edit the cmd-file to point at where your ir.exe is located. IronRuby can be downloaded from
http://ironruby.codeplex.com/.
