    <description>&lt;P&gt;When I need to deploy Inventor add-in, I create MSI installation package for it. This package can remove older versions, install itself, update settings and what ever you want. MSI packages can be installed by IT administrators. They can use any standard deployment tools (I'm not familiar with this, but it works).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For MSI creation I use &lt;A href="https://wixtoolset.org/" target="_blank"&gt;WiX Toolset&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dear all, bonjour.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I would like to gather your experience to take the correct decision regarding the way I will manage my add-ins deployement. Indeed, I developped over the years quite a few add-ins for the company I'm working with. Right now, those are deployed via drag/drop. I basically send an e-mail with the update explanation, and pray that the collaborator read &amp;amp; install the new updated version.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;However, with the collaborator population increasing, and beeing split between Europe &amp;amp; India, and on top of that the add-ins updates releasing at a faster rate (because of the increasing number of functionalities), I find that the drag/drop &amp;amp; pray method is no longer suited.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I then have to take a decision to choose a proper way of handling things. How are you managing your add-ins deployement ?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Kind regards,&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;FINET L.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>I have created a batch file that is installed on each workstation and that runs at startup of windows.&lt;BR /&gt;in this batch file there is a script that copies files from our networkserver to the add-in directory.</description>
