Video: Developing Internet Explorer extensions, end-to-end demo
Internet Explorer is the world’s most popular browser which makes it a nice target for custom solutions.
Microsoft provides an IE SDK that attempts to provide you with guidance on how to create IE add-ons and build custom toolbars, menus, side bars, etc. The problem is that this SDK leaves you alone to fall into the potential pitfalls and doesn't lend you a helping hand.
The Add-in Express for Internet Explorer and .NET toolset is there for you and does more than lend a hand by eliminating these pitfalls (our lead developer for this product, Sergey Grischenko, provides more details for IE developers). The result is developing Internet Explorer extensions with Add-in Express for IE is a truly RAD experience.
This sample video was captured in Visual Studio 2010 with Add-in Express for Internet Explorer and .NET.

Good Day
I am building my internet explorer add-in and when i register it i got 85 warnings
i can’t fix them , could u plz help me ?

Hello,
Generated msi is uninstallable for my internet explorer add-in .
1) Impossible to install in program files directory
2) when install directory is changed to my personnal directory installation starts but stop and show following message :
“The installer was interrupted before myApplication could be installed. You need to restart the installer and try again.”
restart does not change anything.
Any similar problem and solution?
Sinceraly.
Hello Maxime,
You need to start setup.exe, not the .MSI. If UAC is enabled (this is so by default), doing this should trigger UAC immediately (not on a later stage such as file copying); if this doesn’t work for you in this way, this means something is wrong in your setup project. I strongly suggest that you find and check the section which is applicable to your case under section Deployment Step-by-steps, see the PDF file in the folder {Add-in Express}\Docs on your development PC.
