Deploying multiple VSTO add-ins in one package

Hi,

I have successfully developed and deployed VSTO add-ins for Excel, Word and
PowerPoint 2003 using the VSTO templates and Visual Studio 2005. I want to
install 2 or 3 of these add-ins in a single Installer package but am finding
this inexplicably challenging. If I add the Visual Studio project output of
the Excel add-in to the setup project for the Word add-in, adding the
necessary files, registry entries and a custom actions to set up code access
security (as documented), everything appears to deploy normally but the Excel
add-in doesn't run. Similarly if I create a merge module for each add-in and
add those to a setup project, everything looks normal in the installation
folder and registry but the add-ins don't run. What is the setup project
created with the VSTO template doing invisibly that is different from a
standard VS2005 setup project?

Thanks in advance.

Pete
