I have created a simple add-in for outlook which creates a button in the ribbon menu and now when I am trying to set up the installer so that it installs for All Users on the same machine. The Addin is not being registered for users other than the ones installing on the machine.

I have tried following so far:
- Moved all the registry keys to HKLM from HKCU
- Changed the installation path to ProgramFiles
- Changed the 
InstallScope="perMachine"
in the Product.wxs in the Wix Installer
- Changed the switch for which the adxregistrator is running to admin 

    <!-- The "adxregistrator.exe" custom action. -->
    <CustomAction Id="_33F5B32F_B481_4A74_A2A0_FD51E05FD739" BinaryKey="adxregistrator_exe" Execute="deferred" ExeCommand="/install=&quot;[TARGETDIR]$(var.MoveAboutUrl.TargetFileName)&quot; /privileges=admin" Impersonate="yes" />
    <!-- The "adxregistrator.exe" custom action. -->
    <CustomAction Id="_6C86629A_3DFE_4DFB_9695_538E175C115E" BinaryKey="adxregistrator_exe" Execute="rollback" ExeCommand="/uninstall=&quot;[TARGETDIR]$(var.MoveAboutUrl.TargetFileName)&quot; /privileges=admin /generateLogFile=false" Impersonate="yes" />
    <!-- The "adxregistrator.exe" custom action. -->
    <CustomAction Id="_CC33A401_8EED_48A5_B238_946F39696A2C" BinaryKey="adxregistrator_exe" Execute="deferred" ExeCommand="/uninstall=&quot;[TARGETDIR]$(var.MoveAboutUrl.TargetFileName)&quot; /privileges=admin" Impersonate="yes" />

- Changed the properties of the AddinModule to 
RegisterForAllUsers=True

- Changed the manifest file and added attribute like this: 
  
<loaderSettings generateLogFile="true" shadowCopyEnabled="false" configFileName="app.config" privileges="admin" minOfficeVersionSupported="12" >
    <logFileLocation>E:Log.txt</logFileLocation>
  </loaderSettings>


Please tell me if I am missing something else as well?

Hello Kristian,

You need to follow the steps given in section Deploying a per-machine Office extension via an MSI installer, see the PDF file in the folder {Add-in Express}\Docs on your development PC.
