I believe the author meant for Outlook 2003 COM addins.

Outlook 2003 doesn't care about whether managed code addins are registered
in HCKU or HKLM. It's only Outlook 2007 that cares about that. So if all you
need to support is Outlook 2003 and don't need to support Outlook 2007 at
all you could probably just register in HKLM and not try to echo the
settings to HKCU per the articles.

This is all theoretical for me though, I've never tried to deploy a VSTO
addin to HKLM or for all users.

Thanks Ken - its very hard to know which advice is still current and which
has been superseded by later releases or service packs.

The article says for Outlook 2003 I just need to modify the setup
procedure
to put keys into HKLM instead of HKCU but it doesn't work for me.

I wonder if the author means for "COM Add-ins for OL2003" ?

VSTO 2005 SE produces managed code add-ins for OL 2003 and thats what I'm
trying to deploy - but the other deployment instructions which involve
writing code to create the Keys in HKCU during application start-up say
they
are for OL 2007 - the instructions also leave a lot for me to work out for
myself which will be difficult and time consuming and then possibly not
relevant. I'm concerned they rely on features only available in OL2007.

I've tried the other forum as you suggested.

thanks

Alan
