  Hi Joachim,

  WHS 2011 add-ins are deployed using a type of CAB file, using the .wssx extension. You can read about how to build a .wssx file here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg513966.aspx. The .wssx file wraps up your MSI file with some metadata to tell WHS 2011 about your Add-In.

  If you want more automation, I've created a VS 2010 project template for building .wssx files, and I've posted some information about structuring your *.wssx to support in-place upgrades.
