I'm trying to script an add-in install for Excel 2003 (source addin = .xla
file). I can't seem to find where or if this info is stored in the REG (XP).
I know VBS can copy/write the info.... but to where?... . Any ideas ?.

How To Install an Excel Add-In (XLA or XLL) with Automation
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;280290

I remake and use that like this.

Dim oXL, oAddin
dim Args
set Args=wscript.arguments
if args.count=0 then
wscript.echo "Drag and Drop xla file to Icon"
wscript.quit
end if
Set oXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
oXL.Workbooks.Add
Set oAddin = oXL.AddIns.Add(args(0), True)
oAddin.Installed = True
wscript.echo "End"
oXL.Quit
Set oXL = Nothing
