Install Add In?

[TedCronin]

So, from reading I just run the add in assistant, but the doc keep referring to having the addins installed, is that referring to the actual .addin file, or is this referring to the add in wizard.  Do we just unzip the addin wizard, run the tool and then modify the python files in the project folder?  I am a bit confused...

1. Use add-in wizard to set up add-in
2. Edit .py file in install/ to your liking
3. Run makeaddin.py
4. Double-click the .esriaaddin file to install

This should be in the doc, in a nutshell.  Simple.

How will this be deployed when 10.1 goes to release, same way, in that it will be a separate download, or will it be included in the install path for desktop.

The Python Add-In Wizard will be deployed as a separate download when ArcGIS 10.1 goes to final release. The ArcGIS Desktop help will provide links to the location of the download.

ArcGIS 10.1 Beta 1 users can down the Python Add-In Wizard from this location:
