I've been trying to find articles on HKLM in Office 2003, but most of the
articles I find seem to address only Office 2007. One of the first articles
I came across when developing the add-in was the following,

http://blogs.msdn.com/mshneer/archiv...rs-part-i.aspx

where the author says:

Office 2003 does not have a native notion of managed add-ins. So all COM
add-ins (even VSTO add-ins for Office 2003) can be registered under HKLM hive
(e.g. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Excel\AddIns\MyAdd) which will work for
machine-wide deployment - and this is how machine wide deployment of add-ins
has been done in the past.

If this is incorrect, could you perhaps point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

No, it's not that simple. Out of the box VSTO does not support installation
in HKLM, only in HKCU. There are articles about how to get VSTO to support
installation in HKLM.

Most of the users have Windows XP, but a few have 2000 -- none have Vista.
Also, I forgot to mention that this is for Microsoft Outlook 2003. As far
as
I know, for Office 2003, all you have to do is put the same HKCU keys into
HKLM, correct? It seems like this would be set up correctly since the
problem only occurs for a single user on the machine.
