Thank you again for trying this out. I wouldn't be posting here if it was only for how VSTO add-in loading works. For some intricate reason however I need to be able to use *only forward slashes* with the Manifest-value. So - once again - my problem here is strictly InstallShield related, and has very little to do with VSTO. Say I wanted to write this entry to the registry: file:///c:/foo/boo.txt Now, I can't hardcode "c:/foo" because it's the user's choice at install time, neither can I use the more dynamic "[INSTALLDIR]" because this only gives me backslashes in Windows. So how would you go about it (without scripting or custom actions)?

Thank you for your suggestion. This is the exactly what I had in my original posting, and it definitely does not work the way I need it. After rebuilding the setup and installing the add-in the result is still (please observe the backslashes): file:///C:\Program Files\MyAddinInstalldir\MyAddIn.vsto|vstolocal I don't have problems with VSTO, but with getting the forward slashes I need. Any other ideas (w/o custom actions and scripting)?

Hi, for a VSTO add-in installation on a Windows machine I need to be able to set a registry value like this: file:///[INSTALLDIR]MyAddIn.vsto|vstolocal The problem is that [INSTALLDIR] will use the backslash as a path separator which results in: file:///C:\Program Files\MyAddInInstallDir\MyAddIn.vsto|vstolocal What I really need is the forward slash (to comply with the file URI scheme): file:///C:/Program Files/MyAddInInstallDir/MyAddIn.vsto|vstolocal Any ideas? Thank you. Marcel
