Install Addin as Admin and use it as User

by n777krish <n777krish@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 20, 2008 at 09:34 PM

Hi all,

I need to do the following in an add-in:

I need th add-in to be installed by and Administrator and for all
users of the computer to be able to use it. My requirements
specifically:
1. A user install the add-in as an administrator. This is a
requirement as restricted users will not have permissions to install
at "C:\ProgramFiles\Any Addin Folder"
2. A user then must be able to log on as a restricted user and the add-
in should load automatically in Outlook.
3. The add-in must be visible in the COM-Addins list.

From some research I have found that:
1. If I create a key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to connect the add-in,
the add-in works for all users of the machine. The problem here is
that it does not appear in the Com-Addins list as this gives users an
option to disable the add-in and is necessary.
2. If I install the add-in as an admin and then I go to use it as a
restircted user, the add-in does not get loaded in outlook
auotmatically. I have to go and create the necessary keys under HKCU
in order to get it working.

Is there a way to achieve this? The add-in is developed in VB6.

Thank You for any information.
