How do I script the installer from within the Visual Studio Installer? I
have not been able to find any documentation or examples of any scripting
that is available (i.e. Wise has a scripting language).

What do you mean by "to the users copy by the user"?

I also do not see any "Add-Ins" folder except that under Outlook in the
registry.

I have looked at the online Office Developer documentation and I have found
nothing pertaining to corporate environment distribution with exception of
digitally signing templates and add-ins.

The documentation that I was able to locate mainly focused on how to
register the object (i.e. regsvr32, etc.), how to set the loadbehavior, etc.

Where can I locate "launch rights" as it pertains to using the Visual Studio
Installer.
