I have a question if there is any way how to install Office.js Excel add-in from Network share via powershell.
I wasn't able to find any information.

I am working on a VSTO addin
I would like how to do that when the addin is going to be installed it's going to install a word template in the template folder together.
It seems like you need to create a custom action for your add-in installer where you could do the required actions programmatically while the add-in is installed.
There are two main ways deploying Office add-ins:
Deploy an Office solution by using Windows Installer
Deploy an Office solution by using ClickOnce
The windows installer (MSI) provides all the necessary tools for that.
I have created a MS Word add-in using C#/VSTO. When building with Visual Studio I set the version number for each published build. Is there a way for the users to find the build version of the add-in from Word (Office 365) so that they can determine if they are running the newest version? I can see that the add-in is installed under Options->Add-ins, but it doesn't list the version. Worst case I can add something to the Ribbon to display it but I'm hoping there is an easier way. Thanks!
We're rolling out the VSTS Azure solution enterprise wide and have some users that will need to use a Citrix environment. Does anyone know if the TFS Office Addin (Office 2016) for work item updates, etc will work in a Citrix environment?
I know it installs to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Team Foundation Server\15.0\x86\TFSOfficeAdd-in.dll
Well, you can try below things to use the TFS Office Add-in on your Citrix VMs (Windows only):
Install Microsoft Office (Office 2016 in your scenario), then install
Visual Studio or at least install the Team Explorer, the TFS
Office Add-in will automatically integrate to office.
If you don't want to install Visual Studio/Team Explorer, then you can use the TFS
Office Integration Installer (Download from here). This new
installer just includes the Office integration component (Excel,
Project, etc) and is therefore lighter weight. See this blog : TFS
Office Integration Installer
You can reference this blog for details : Work with VSTS (or TFS) Work Items from Excel without installing Team Explorer
If you cannot see the Team ribbon in excel, you can refer to below article for troubleshooting: TFS-Office integration issues

I have a requirement to create an installer for an Outlook 2003 add-in that was created with VSTO.
We currently are using Wix for our installers as they play nice with MSBuild and I need to use it to create the installer for the outlook add-in.
I have no experience with outlook add-ins and am unsure exactly what is involved and how to go about creating the installer.
Can anyone share any experience/tips/examples that would help me please?
Thanks in advance,

I found this Microsoft article on VSTO add-ins deployment to be an absolute life-saver; I don't know about Wix, though. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332052.aspx
I've not done this in WiX but I have done it in InstallShield. Below with my notes from that time:

One problem you will have is that WiX doesn't have a bootstrapper so you will have to find a way to chain the .NET Framework and VSTO redist ( also possibly the Office 2003 PIAs; you didn't say which version of VSTO you are using ) with your installer unless you choose to take the route that merely gates the install if those aren't found.
I recall using a DTF custom action to publish a certificate but I can't recall if that was needed for Office 2003 or only for Office 2007.
