Title Body

Here are the error details: In the Error List: Error 1 Cannot register assembly "C:\Users\cboardman\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\ExcelAddIn1\ExcelAddIn1\bin\Debug\ExcelAddIn1.dll" - access denied. Please make sure you're running the application as administrator. Access to the registry key 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ExcelAddIn1...' is denied. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets 3019 9 ExcelAddIn1 In the Build Output: Target UnmanagedRegistration: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(3019,9): error MSB3216: Cannot register assembly "C:\Users\cboardman\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\ExcelAddIn1\ExcelAddIn1\bin\Debug\ExcelAddIn1.dll" - access denied. Please make sure you're running the application as administrator. Access to the registry key 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ExcelAddIn1...' is denied. Done building target "UnmanagedRegistration" in project "ExcelAddIn1.csproj" -- FAILED. From what I have found online, I need to be running Visual Studio as administrator. This seems like a big hammer for a small nail. Is there a way around this (like a way to run just the registration as administrator)?
