    The manifest files should be generated automatically by Visual Studio in the output folder:

    • the file with .vsto extension is the deployment manifest
    • the file with .dll.manifest extension is the application manifest

    Edit: I found a tutorial which may help you with the deployment: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cristib/archive/2010/11/01/deploying-a-vsto-word-2007-add-in-to-all-users-visual-studio-2008-sp1.aspx
