How to install CDO by hand?

[Keno Albrecht]

I want to install a plug-in for outlook that needs the CDO functionality. My question is, if it is possible (and allowed) to intall the necessary CDO dlls in my own installation routine? If yes, is there any default or recommended way to do so

Thanks a lot!

CDO 1.21 is not a legally redistributable library and there are
different versions of CDO depending on the Outlook version.

You can force a demand install of CDO from within your code but the
user would need access to the Office CD or a network Office
installation point for that to work.

The ItemsCB COM addin sample (VB6) on the Resources page at
www.microeye.com demonstrates how for force a demand installation of
CDO 1.21 as well as showing Outlook COM addin best practices and
workarounds for bugs in the Outlook COM addin model. I'd suggest
downloading and studying it to see how to install CDO.
