Putting an add-in in the official Outlook list
 

Hi
I have a COM add-in that I'd like to have show up in the official list so
users can remove it at will. (Under Tools-Options-Other tab-Advanced
Options-COM Add-Ins), but despite the fact that the add-in appears to work
just fine, it isn't showing up in that list. Not to mention the Add-In
manager list (right on top of the "COM Add-Ins" button metioned). How does
one get their add-in on that list? I'm using the "standard template" seen in
many a Microsoft article about COM building, implementing the
IDTExtensibility2 interface for Outlook 2003.

Thanks a lot!

Your add-in needs to be installed in the HKCU registry hive rather than
HKLM.

Any idea where that key is located?

Ahhh...I see now. When I started my project, I used a wizard in VB.net that
asked if I wanted my Add-In to be available to just the logged in user, or
everyone on the computer. I chose everyone. Any idea how I can change it in
my project, now that it's well beyond the new stage?

Thanks again for all your help

I don't have a copy of VS on this machine, so I can't check, but it should
be in one of the config files in your project.
