VSTO addin for excel

Hi,

I have developed a VSTO addin for excel. I understand that Visual studio tools for office runtime should be installed in a workstation in order for the addin to work. and i need to install the addin using a service. So inorder for this to happen, VSTO should
be installed at first. So can i bundle the vstor_redist.exe and the VSTO excel addin in my application. Or what is the best way to do so? Because if i am installing the addin using a windows service i have to install it using "vstoinstaller.exe /install Setup.exe
/silent" command. So i need vsto runtime to be installed first.

 

Open .vsto from IE11

I would like to install a VSTO Office Add-in by opening the deployment manifest from an IIS website, as explained

here.

I'm currently using IE11 on a Windows 10 pc.

The install process fails, because IE11 doesn't give the option to directly open .vsto file: it only allows to save and then open. In this way, paths to manifest and other resources gets invalid, since they aren't referred to the original http url, but relative
to the Download folder.

Switching to Edge does solve the issue: the file is opened from the original location and the required files are correctly downloaded and installed.

How can I configure IE11 to Open .vsto file instead of Save? I noticed that 'Open' is not even an option, how to unhide this menu item?
