Default Add-in (All Users)

Hello,
I'm setting my add-in to be active just for one user, so I set the my add-in
in the registry in the follwing path:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\AddIns\...
Now I tried to set it to work for all users, so I set the registry path:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\AddIns\...
It works fine, just one problem, that this Add-In not shown in the COM
Add-Ins list in the Outlook Options (Tools-Options-Other-Advanced
Options-COM Add-Ins -Outlook2003-)
Why this happen while the Add-in working fine?!!

Addins registered in HKLM are considered as administrative installations and
don't show up in the COM Add-Ins dialog (except in Outlook 2007).

So how can I install my add-in to all users and let it be shown by the COM
Add-Ins dialog?
I installed Google Desktop and it had been installed for all users and shown
in this dialog!!

I don't use that addin so I don't know what they're doing. It might be an
Exchange extension, which is different than an addin.

Whatever they're doing, if you register an addin in HCLM you won't see it in
the COM Add-Ins dialog. If you install it in HKCU you will see it but it's
for that user unless you install it in HCKU for every user.

Your choice.

"nless you install it in HCKU for every user"... I think here is the point..
But how can I do that?

That's up to you. Find some way to get every user on that system and log in
as that user and register the addin in that HKCU or find some other way of
doing it. Not really an Outlook question and not one I've ever bothered to
investigate.

Google Desktop installs at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions
so there is the difference why you are seeing it.
