XPS viewer add-in

(This is a repost from Office General.)

My environment: Windows Vista Home Premium x64, Office 2007.

I've installed the Save as PDF or XPS add-in in Office. This allows me to
save a file in Word in XPS format just fine. If I select "Open file after
publishing", I get bounced into the XPS viewer without a problem. However,
if I attempt to open an existing XPS file directly with Word, I get an error
message concerning problems with the file contents. Should I be redireded to
the viewer or is this currently expected behavior?

A few other related questions:

* The add-in does not appear on the list of Office add-ins in Word Options.
Is this a problem with this add-in or some Word bug?

* When I first installed the add-in and saved and then requested a preview
of the file, I was asked to allow installation of the .NET framework, which I
did. I thought this framework was already a part of Windows Vista. Am I
mistaken?

* Where do office add-ins such as this one that apply to multiple office
apps live(what directory) and how are they identified and registered in the
registry?
