Hi,

I was looking for the answer on the forum but there is none, there are issues like this but no answer to them.

From 300 users one user have an issue with ADXRegistry.OpenKey. All users are set up exactly the same and software is installed exactly the same (big corp).

One user suffered from the exception message below. I asked IT to check if the user has permissions to:
{HKCU}\Software\Microsoft\Office\{host}\AddIns\{your add-in ProgID} and {HKCU}\Software\Microsoft\Office\{host}\AddIns\ADXXLForm

However, all users are set up exactly the same.

Hello Jakub,

In the code I see that it may also access {HKCU}\Software\Microsoft\Office\{version}.0\Common.
