But if I go inside the install application panel and click on "repair", after the installation it appear in the Outlook.

GPO is : Group Policy organization of Windows server (Active directory)

I hope you can help me to solve this issue, I have to install my addin in 44 client under this server.

Hi Giuseppe.
We tried installing via the GPO, and it actualy worked for one of the early versions, but after framework 2.0 got installed, nothing worked.
Long story short: we've ended up installing via vbs script and a .bat file.
We use the login script, and we still have some problems, but we've found a workaround by always uninstalling and unregistering before an install.
AND of course, remember to install the Word Shared addin http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908002

Hi Giuseppe.

The most "free of problem" way to install COM add-ins is to run the installer on each PC. Please install the add-in using the standard approach.
