Hi Abhinay,

Recommended reading the following article about the issuethat Visual Studioinstances do not load any Add-In, which provides information to troubleshoot common problems of add-ins for Visual Studio or Office applications (shared add-ins).
Please check: HOWTO: Troubleshooting Visual Studio and Office add-ins

For Visual Studio Add-in deployment, you also can try using Inno Setup.
Here is a good tutorial: HOWTO: Create a setup for a Visual Studio 2005 / 2008 add-in using Inno Setup

For more resources of Visual Studio Add-in, please see: http://www.mztools.com/resources_vsnet_addins.aspx

BTW, this forum is for the support of.NET Frameworkinstallation. For Add-in issue, Visual Studio Extensibilityshould be the place to consult for better answer. You will get more useful help there.This will make answer searching in the forum easier and be beneficial to other community members as well.
