Office 2007 Addins not working for All Users

C

Chris Arnold

Hi,

I have 2 Office 2007 addins (Excel 2007 and Word 2007) both written in C#
using VS2005 and .Net 2.0. If I let the installation create the required
registry keys under HKCU everything works perfectly. If however, I edit the
installation to create these entries under HKLM (so that all users can
access the addins) both fail. I can confirm that both sets of registry
entries are identical (barring HKLM or HKCU) and that AddInSpy says that the
'all users' versions have no problems with them. Excel or Word simply
unloads the addins and sets their LoadBehavior to 0 (from 3).

This is driving me insane! It has, so far, taken 30% of our project time to
create the functional addins and 70% to create the installations!!!

Any help would be extremely welcome :).
