Removing add in programatically

macropod · #4 05-08-2014, 10:47 PM

This works for me:

Code:

Sub KillMyAddin(sAddInFileName As String)
Dim strFile As String, oAddIn As AddIn
For Each oAddIn In Application.AddIns
  With oAddIn
    If .Name = sAddInFileName Then
      strFile = .Path & "\" & sAddInFileName
      .Installed = False
      .Delete
      End If
      Kill strFile
  End With
Next
End Sub

One thing to note though is that, if the Addin is also the attached template, you'd have to detach it (e.g. ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate = "") before you could delete it.
