Newbie having problems deploying Add In

N

I think that this should be an easy thing for someone who knows what they're
doing. I made an Outlook Add In using C# and Visual Studio .NET.

I pretty much used the exact code found here.

My Add In builds and works like I want it to on the Development machine.
But now, I can't figure out how to deploy it. I built the project in
"Release" mode, then I take the setup.msi file from the setup project that
comes automatically and copied it to another machine. The setup seems to run
ok, but then it's not doing anything.

I feel like there's some step I'm missing in the deployment process. Do I
have to give it a digital signature to work? I found an article about using
some sort of Shim add in, but i'm unclear whether or not this is what I need
to do. It seems like it should be simpler than this.

Does anyone know what is going on? Or, even better, are there any step by
step directions available?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Nathan
