I have made a Visual Studio Add-in as part of a project I'm working on using web services.
When I created the new Add-in project in visual studio it generated all the code required and installed the blank add-in on my pc (I assume).
Since this is a large project we are using svn to manage the code base and once I had done some of the work on the Add-in I commited it, then checked it out on a different pc and attempted to run it.
However on the other pc when I run the add-in in debug mode, the tools entry for the add-in is not present and I can't run the add-in.
Am I right in assuming that when I created the project on the other pc it installed the plugin aswell?? and does that mean that I will need to create an installer for any other pcs I wish to use?
Obviously at some point I intend on making an installer anyway but not untill after the development of the addin is complete.
