Hello Karim,

The registration information is stored in the registry and thus it doesn't depend on Office at all. Also, you cannot prevent your add-in from being loaded. What you need is to prevent your add-in from functioning: intercept AddinInitialize and OnRibbonBeforeCreate to delete all components from the add-in module and detach all event handlers. This results in your add-in listed in the COM add-ins dialog but the add-in shows no UI and reacts to no event.

Hi Andrei,

Karim,

Imagine a user having Office 2007: you install your add-in and it doesn't register. Then the user installs Office 2016 and it is required to re-install your add-in in order for it to work. Finally, the user installs Office 2007 again and your add-in still works. All these manipulations aren't really probable but the result is obvious: your add-in may still work in a previous Office version if you make the decision at the registration time.
