All,

I have an addin created with VSTO 2005 that works and installs just fine on
my target computer.  However, as soon as I login as a different user (on the
same computer), the addin must be re-installed in order for Outlook to load
it.

I tried unsuccessfully to:
1) creating an ADM for the registry entries needed - found it a bit
complicated :)
2. Assign the MSI application to every user on the machine - for some reason
it does not install

Any help is greatly appreciated.

VSTO addins are registered in HKCU so they are active only for the user
logon where the addin is installed. You could deploy a reg file that
registers the addin for each user in HKCU or run a repair or install for
each user.
