how to delete an 'inactive' add-in

M

MikeB77

Hello
I'm trying to delete a global add-in with vba. The code running is not in
the addin.

I can un-install it: oAddin.Installed = False
and also 'delete' it: oAddin.Delete
yet it remains as an 'inactive add-in' when viewed in the add-ins tab.
But when I try and kill it: Kill myAddinFileName
I don't get an error message (as I would if it was in use) but it does not
delete. I assume Word is holding on to it. I can kill other file types so I
assume I've got the path etc right.

I can manually delete it with explorer (while Word runs) tho can't figure
out how to call explorer from vba to do this.

Word 2002 and 2007.
any suggestions?

Thanks

Mike
