So I created an Outlook Add-in and used the click-once setup to deploy it.

The setup runs fine when the user is administrator, but otherwise: no go.

Running the setup with "run as..." and logging in as admin works, but than the add-in is installed under the admin, not the current user. The addin doesn't show up in outlook.

I tried following this guide: http://blogs.msdn.com/mshneer/archive/2008/04/24/deploying-your-vsto-add-in-to-all-users-part-iii.aspx

But I get stuck at part I: http://blogs.msdn.com/mshneer/archive/2007/09/04/deploying-your-vsto-add-in-to-all-users-part-i.aspx

I follow the examples and start excel as described:

Now start Excel application. Examine the registry keys in HKCU hive e.g. you will find two interesting registry keys that appear under your HKCU hive:

  • HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\TestKey registry key containing registry value TestValue
  • You now also have HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\User Settings\TestPropagation registry key with Count value set to 1

But on my machine, the keys are not created... What can I try next?
