The walkthroug says at some point:

...
In the list of prerequisites select the following items:
  • Microsoft Office 2003 Primary Interop Assemblies
  • 2007 Microsoft Office Primary Interop Assemblies
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office SE Runtime
...

Unfortunately the prerequisites dialog doesn't contain these elements although they are installed on my (developement-) machine. How can I register them to be displayed here

Hi,

Creating setups project is not easy, especially if we don't have any deeper knowledge on the subject. I use the BootStrapper Manifest Generator. For links to it please see my blogpost here.

I couldn' download the bootstrapper generator due to some proxy issues....

but isn't that the same bootstrapper generator that is included in Visual Studio 2005 and that I am talking of

My actions: right click the Setup project in my Solution and select "Properties". In the opening dialog I click on "Prerequisites". A Control (bootstrapper opens where I can choose the software needed to run the addin. But I am missing some entries in that control. I only can use .NET Framework 2.0 Entry in here but I need also VSTO SE runtime, the 2007 office interop for my addin and the VSTO language pack. Why are these (already installed on my machine) components not showing up here

No

The Bootstrapper Manifest Generator offer a Visual Design to add customized entries in the list of prerequisites You see in VST 2005.

Why are these (already installed on my machine) components not showing up here

Because there exist no customized entries in the list of available prerequisites for the one You're asking for. It's not about what installed or not on the development computer.

OK thank you so far. As mentioned before I am not able to download the manifest generator from the link you posted. I can download the setup.exe but if I invoke it, it obviously starts an online installation that requieres proxy authentification I COUL NOT ENTER somewhere. The proxy settings in internet explorer options seems not to be enough for that task.

Is there a different download location Googling for it brings no result so far that works.

Hi Dennis. I downloaded it by connecting to the internet via ISDN. Thank you very much. Everything works fine.
