I am struggling finding a good step by step or simple instructions on what is required and how to install an outlook addin using clickonce?

I only need to install it on one computer, the computer is Windows 7, Office 2010, and is sitting on the same home network as mine from which I developed it. It couldn't get much simpler.

I have exported the certificate from the project and imported it onto the client machine and it was successful but when I try and run the clickonce install then it says "Zone not trusted...MyComputer"

I have even used a setup project and generated a .msi to try and install it and it says it is successful but the addin is not loaded ince outlook open..in fact I can not see it at all in the addin manager

all help appreciated

Outlook is especially difficult when it comes to security. It doesn't allow for an untrusted source to just install the add-on. However you should be able to do so with accepting the warning at the start.

Can you please give more detail on how you created a security certificate?

The clickone should be straight forward. In the application setting under publish you can set it up there without to much fluffing around.
