When it comes to Outlook, figuring out what you did to get it to work is worthy of a master's degree. We MVPs just thank the Outlook gods and move on, most of the time.
Then there are those of us who actually know what they are doing.

||| Curious,

||| Outlook? Other add-ins seem to lock this one out a lot.
|||
||| One approach to get this add-in working for some friends is:
|||
||| Go to Tools->Options
||| Select the "Other" tab
||| Click Advanced Options
||| Click COM Add-In Manager
||| Select Windows Live Local for Outlook
||| Click Remove.
||| Now Click Add

||| outlook Select LEOAddInShim.dll
||| Ok your way back to the main Outlook window.

||||
