title: How can I activate an Excel add-in from the command line in Windows 7?
body: <p>Currently I'm writting VB functions and save them as an Excel addin .xlam file.</p>
  
  <p>I want to have a .bat script so as to quickly deploy those addins.</p>
  
  <p>Currently, to activate my .xlam addins, I have to <code>Open Excel - File - Option - Addins - Browse to addin files...</code> as below screenshot. This is absolutely manual, repeated &amp; tiring thing to do.</p>
  
  <p>So my need is to automate the activation process.</p>
