   For 64-bit host apps on 64-bit OS and for 32-bit host apps on 32-bit OS

   C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe C:\Addons\VBACH\VBACodeHelper.dll
   

   For 32-bit host apps on 64-bit OS

   C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe C:\Addons\VBACH\VBACodeHelper.dll
   

3. Turn on "Loaded" checkbox in VBE add-in's dialog.

Update

Just replace the addin's dll where it is located.

Deinstall

Use the same command with "/u" command line key, for example:

regsvr32.exe /u C:\Addons\VBACH\VBACodeHelper.dll

Restrictions

Code lines, which concatenated by underscore at the end of phisical line, would be concat into single phisical code line. If its undesirable for you, use "Selected Lines" indentation mode where it is necessary.
