Thanks. I do know how to determine the version from within the context of
my add-in, but how about from my setup program, which would be reading
these
registry values? Is there some other registry setting that shows the
installed version of Outlook? How would I determine the version when
Outlook is not running?

Thanks,
Mark

You can read the Application.Version property. The first digits up to the
first dot are the important ones.

Perfect, thanks Michael. That raises another question. How do I find
out
the version of Outlook they're using, so I know in which registry path
to
look? I believe this option was eliminated in Outlook 2007, so I'd need
to
know whether to search in 11.0/10.0/9.0 in my case. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark

You can read the setting from the registry, e.g. Outlook 03:



HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\O utlook\Options\Mail\EditorPreference

no Word: '0x00010000'
use Word: '0x00010001'

How can I determine the state of this Outlook option:

Tools / Options... / Mail Format / Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail
messages

? Can I detect this from my installation program somehow? How about
from
my add-in?

Thanks,
