I have a completed VS Add-in, but I trashed the setup accidentally.
I've tried to recreate the setup but cannot get it to install the
add-in and have the add-in show up on the user's VS in the Tool menu.
It will put the DLL on the users machine, it will even show the Add-In
if we go into Add-in manager, it will show it checked as if it should
start up but I cannot get it to show up in the Tool menu so the user
can actually use it. I am stuck on what I'm doing wrong.

Any ideas?

See the following articles at my web site

INFO: Visual Studio .NET Add-In Commands Disappear On Next Session.

HOWTO: Removing commands and UI elements during Visual Studio .NET add-in
uninstallation.

HOWTO: Adding buttons, commandbars and toolbars to Visual Studio .NET from
an add-in.
