Is there any way to add add-in in powerpoint 2007 automatically?

can we create some like executable file which add add-in directly to the powerpoint in one click. OR can we do it programmatically using VBA/VB?

Thanks.

Slight correction. The reg key to automatically load a PPA/PPAM addin would be in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\PowerPoint\AddIns\Addin_name

where xx.0 is the PPT version you're targeting (eg 14.0 as in assylias' example) and addin_name is the name of your addin.

Two values under that key:

AutoLoad 
DWORD = ffffffff hex

Path
String = the full path to your PPA/PPAM file

== To load an add-in programmatically, you'd do:

Application.Addins.Add "Full path to PPA or PPAM file"

You can do that in 2 ways (AFAIK):

  1. By modifying the Windows registry (which can be done from VB or VBA or most programming languages). Keys to look at are listed in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\PowerPoint\Options
  2. From VBA: the answer to Excel: Change addin reference without opening a file should give you a good starting point
