Hi all,

i read several Posts about the UAC in Vista, i read that it must be activated to load the Outlook AddIn.

The Customer installed last week our Product, first without UAC(dont work) and then with UAC(now it woks), but he is not happy to live WITH the UAC.

How can it be done to run the Plugin without UAC!?

Hello Hannes,

The User Account Control (UAC) must be turned on for the Office 2007 add-in installed to HKCU (for the current user account only) to work. For instance, if UAC is turned on, the user can turn the add-in on / off via the COM Add-ins dialog. Otherwise, Office 2007 will show your add-in in this dialog but will not load the add-in.

You may find additional info at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms269007(vs.80).aspx.

Hello Hannes,

You can install an add-in under admin user account for all users.

Hi Hannes,

The same rules apply to ClickOnce deployment.

Of course, you can install the add-in via ClickOnce if UAC is turned off. But it will not work until you turn UAC on.
