Haha,

Never has someone asked for so much with so little words.

 

1.  AutoCad 2013+ Has an automatic loader.  Or you can add a registry entry to start it up, or a script file from a desktop shortcut.

2.  If you want to distribute it as an installer package I use MSI Factory.  It's not free but it's very good and easy to use.

3.  I have found lots of ribbon getting started answers on here.  If you mean add it to the AutoCad Ribbon i am not sure, but do a search on here there are lots of good examples.

 

I'm sure my answers can be improved, but good luck.

I second quigs's suggestion of using Autoloader if your deployment is for AutoCAD 2012+ (not 2013+, quigs :-)). Google for Autoloader for more info. Using this feature, you only have to copy files to the correct location - instead of writing a complicated installer that has to check the regsitry to determine which AutoCAD vertical/version/locale is present. Autloader can also automatically load a partial CUI for your application - very easy way to deploy your UI.
