The addin does not run when logged on with an AD user account
Problems running the add-in for end users.

I have developed a shared add-in for outlook using C#. My application
is integrating outlook with an archiving system, making it possible to
archive mail items using an archive button.

I have a peculiar problem. My add-in is installed and run successfully
when logged on as an administrator.

The problem is that when I log on with a "normal" user account there is
nothing displayed. Outlook doesn't recognize the application. The dll's
are in the right place - the pia is installed - as is other nessecary
prerequisites.

I'll be happy for any contribution you may have :)

Best regards - Neoret

Each Windows logon loads a specific HKCU hive of the registry. The addin is
registered in HKCU so it's only registered for the admin logon and not the
user logon. Either re-write the registry entries for that HKCU hive or
register the addin in HKLM, where it's available for all logons on that
machine.
