I posted an article here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1095195/how-do-i-set-permissions-on-my-vsto-outlook-add-in) and I was able to build my installer. I thought that once the installer built itself, everything would work fine.
I was wrong. It works on about half of the PC's I've run the installer on. My problem is that the other half doesn't work. I'm trying to install an add-in to Outlook Office 2003.
I've even gone so far as to create the steps manually by using a batch file. Nothing seems to work on these PCs and I can't find a common denominator that I can rule out or in that will make the VSTO Addin work.
Here is the batch file I am using. What am I doing/not-doing wrong with this?
I could really use a VSTO expert's help. Thanks!!!!
EDIT I've changed the batch file and registry settings to reflect recent updates to them. I've also attached the error text that comes from the PCs that don't work.

I took the Registry settings (mentioned in the batch file above) straight from a PC that this application worked on. The VSTO Registry settings I am using are :
