Deploying IE9 extension

I'm looking at developing an IE9 extension (using the following as a reference How to get started with developing Internet Explorer extensions?) and I'm wondering how I am going to deploy it.

Both Firefox and Chrome have a "store" where you can browse plugins and then a common packaging mechanism/standard, but I haven't been able to find the same for IE... anyone have any ideas?

To set up pages that will automatically open using the IE Tab in Chrome, right-click on the IE Tab icon and select "Options" to see all of the options. Scroll down to Auto URLs.

You need to register the plugin as a COM addon, and add two entries to the registry. The post you linked to explains how to do both of these things.

You would deploy it as an installer package that does both of these things.
