Hi,

I'm still struggling to get started with COM Add-Ins. I've downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2015 but I can't seem to follow the steps on any of the guides I've seen. They generally tell me to create project and choose activeX.dll, but that option is not there for me under the extensibility template. Can any one direct me to some documentation on how to do this. I'm starting to feel pretty stupid.

Regards,
Gary
