Question

WHS 2011 RC installed in a Vmware Workstation VM. Add-Ins tab is empty apart from one help link - no option to actually Add an Add-In. Anyone else seeing this ?

Hi,
What your are looking at is the Add-In management tab. It will show any Add-In registered.
Add-Ins are registered by installing the Add-In form a cleints Desktop.
To check this out you can see/try this free Add-In: AWIECO RemoteLauncher- Theo.

But if you read the help text it says there's an add add-in task and there is no such thing. the help is here
http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-ca/vail/install-add-ins-2.aspx
and the text is: (highlight is the original)
To install and uninstall Add-ins
-
Click the Add-ins tab.
-
In the Add-ins Tasks pane, click add Add-ins .

Charles,
Re-read carefully :-) I absolutely agree the help is confusing/incorrect.
I think it is actually actually refering to add-ins that have registered to apear on the Launch pad (not the Dashboard). The Lauch pad can show an additional "Add-ins" section.
AWIECO's WakeOnLAN for instance registers to enable WOL from the users Launchpad. In the Add-Ins section of the Dashboard it displays an additional option: "Install the add-in on computers on the network"
