Hello guys,

I am not sure if this question belongs here. Well I finished my Excel add in project today.
Now its time to send it to the users. I need a way to minimize the user's job here.

Do you guys have any idea on how to do this?

My add in has four basic elements:

1.The add-in itself
2. A reference Excel Sheet with data
3. An Excel Template ( the user will work with this)
4. A folder on "C:\" where all Final Results will go in.

What is it that I need:

1. Put everything in drive "C:\"
2. Maybe put the add in the Microsoft add in folders ( I think this part is hard because the user use different versions of Office, I can always instruct them how to load the add in from "C:\"
3. Two shortcuts on the Desktop, one for the Excel Template, the other one for the Final Results

Any help will be appreciated any hit, if you guys have seen anything like this in a bog...

Thanks a lot :)
