Outlook Addin with ALLUSERS property is not available for all users

Hello, I have a Deployment Problem with my Outlook Addin (VS2005).

Its working fine for the User who installing it (Administrator rights) but even if the option ALLUSERS is selected it’s wouldn’t appear for other users on this machine.

The FULLTRUST is given for the "Machine" under "My_Computer_Zone"

I believe that the Problem is the Registry, because I find it just under the CURRENT_USER and when I check it for other users, I don’t find it there.

Should the Registry be under LOCAL_MACHINE when the ALLUSERS property is selected or for each User under CURRENT_USER

Is maybe the Problem that other user are GASTS on this Machine and that’s why cannot see my Addin

Thanks,

    The defaults in the examples from document "Deploying Visual Studio Tools for Office Soulutions Using Windows Installer (Part 1 of 2) and (Part 2 of 2)" cause the Add-in to be registerd in a way that makes the Add-in only available to the user doing the install. You will need to change the Registery entries to go under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

    To do this, select in the Solutions Explorer the "OutlookAddinSetup" object. Next, at the top of the Solutions Explorer select the "Registery Editor". Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and "cut" both "Classes" and "Microsoft" keys and paste them to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software.

    Re-build the OutlookAddinSetup project, or re-build the entire project and test the deployment. Log in as another user to verify that the Add-In is available to another user besides the one who installed the Add-in.
