Addin does not occur under a particular user profile

Hi All,

I am having a strange situation where an addin does not appear in some circumstances.

The addin is set to be registered under all users. Generally I register the DLL under and admin account, then when the user logs in as a limited user, the addin appears in word/excel/outlook.

I validated this in the registry where I have values under,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\EdcMsAddin.EdcMs

On one user which is defined as a "Standard User" under Windows XP, and the account is present both on the domain and the workstation, the key simply does NOT exist under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\

I thought that any key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE would be visible to all users, but it does not seem to be the case.

If I make that problematic user "admin", the entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE are displayed and it works correctly. When the user is not "admin", the entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE simply don't appear so integration with office application does not work.

Has anyone experienced such problem?

Thanks for any help.

Michel

Please ignore this request. This was a programming error where the DLL was being unregistered by another process, so the entries were disappearing from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Thanks,

Michel
