Changing existing project properties

[Alex]

Hello,

I have a VS 2003, C# project for a Word add_in.

When the project was created, it was set to load for all users on the machine.
I'd like to change it so that it only loads for the users that install it, and for the developers working on it.

How do I do it?


Best wishes,
Alex.

You can set the addin registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER to limit the
user who can use the addins.

Hi

When the user installed the addin, if the addin registry is created in the
CurrentUser key, the Addin will be loaded for the user only, if the addin
is not created in the localmachine key. If the Addin key is created in the
localmachine, then all the user will load the addin.

e.g.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\MyAddin9.Connect]

NOTE: the Current User means the current logon user, the registry key is
loaded for every user, that is to say, different user will have different
current user registry key.
