If you want to create add-ins for any other Office components, select “Run from My Computer” for
their .NET Programmability Support components as well. After clicking Continue, Office installs
the new features, and when it is done, you will get a success screen, depicted in Figure 16.4; click
Close on this screen, and then close the Add/Remove Program applet.

Although VB 2005 Express has an Upgrade Wizard, it isn’t helpful in upgrading a VB 6 COM add-
in to VB 2005 because the Express edition of VB 2005 doesn’t support creating add-ins. If you
attempt to upgrade a VB 6 COM add-in with this wizard (or the similar wizard in Visual Studio
2005), all the project components will be upgraded except the critical Access Designer, and you
will get a message “Activex Designer AccessDesigner.Dsr was not upgraded” in the Upgrade Report,
as shown in Figure 16.5.
