I have created an Extensiblity Outlook Add-in. I now need to deploy
this add-in into the test environment. Logged in as an Administrator
upon the test box, I select the load for "everyone" option. The
Outlook add-in appears to install correctly however when I start
Outlook the add-in does not load. I have added a command bar button
to give me a visual indication if the add-in has loaded - the button
is not there. I can view the registry and the Add-in registry setting
are loaded under HKEY_CURRENT_USER; there is no additional registry
entries loaded under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER the
load behavior is loaded as "2" - when I change the Load Behavior to
"3" or "9" and try to start Outlook with the add-in loaded - the add-
in does not load and the Load Behavior value is changed back to "2".

When I load the add-in as the Administrator and select the installer
options "just for me" the add-in works great.

When I log out of the machine as the Administrator and log into the
machine as a Power User, the Outlook Add-in does not when Outlook is
started.

Are there code changes that I need to make to allow the add-in to load
for everyone?

The target production environment is to have SMS push the add-in to
the client machine and install for any user that uses this machine.
Client users do not have admistrator rights on their computers.

Add setting to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (under Key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlo ok\Addins) in the registry.

How do we do that within the plugin so by default during installation
- it installs under HKey_local-machine and not under current user
