Default Install VSTO Add-in for OL2003 For All Users (including non-Admin)

That answer was provided before that MSDN article or the blog posts Misha
made telling how to deploy a VSTO addin for all users. At that point the
official word was that VSTO addins only could be deployed for current user.

So yes, following all the steps in that deployment article should allow your
addin to work when installed for all users.

For more explicit information on the problem you're having I'd suggest
posting to the VSTO forum on MSDN, the VSTO team answers questions there and
should be able to provide answers for you:

I want to install my addin to HKLM rather than HKCU so that all users can
use
it. I can make the necessary registry changes to the setup project and
install it as administrator and it works OK for all users - but only if
they
are administrators.

There is conflicting evidence on the web: this MS article tells you how to
do it - so you would figure it was supported:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...nf orAllUsers

but I have seen Ken Slovak responses suggesting this is not
supported...eg:

http://help.lockergnome.com/office/V...ict942994.html

Can anyone give me a definitive answer on this? Is there any way out?

I hope so because it will cost me a 6 figure sale - not to mention the six
months of work thats gone into it. Help!
