Problems in loading Outlook Add-in as a normal user
Hi,
I have created Outlook COM Add-in successfully but I am facing problems in loading this Add-in as a normal user in Outlook. If I put normal(non-admin) account into Administrators group then everything works fine and registered Add-in, automatically gets added to COM Add-in list and start working as expected. but if I remove myself from Administrator group then Add-in is not getting added in to COM Add-in list automatically and even I am not able to add it manually from "tools-options-other-Advanced Option-COM Add-ins". The more thing is, when I registered Add-in as an administrator, it displays add-in in reference list but don't load and create button on outlook tool bar. This everything works fine if I add non-admin account in the Administrators group. Also when I try to create Add-in dll from VB6 File-make dll as normal user, it says "Error in accessing system registry". It also not allows me to run the Add-in by clicking Run button with "Permission denied" message. I think this is the only problem. I am not able to create Add-in as a normal user and hence it is not allowing me to add COM-in or register COM Add-in as normal user. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks a ton, Paresh |

Problems in loading Outlook Add-in as a normal user
As you've created it yourself, it is hard to tell what you are doing wrong
without knowing any specifics about what you are doing. Other than saying that you are probably writing or reading something from restricted areas, it is hard to be any more specific. You'd be off-topic for this newsgroup either way.

Problems in loading Outlook Add-in as a normal user
You cannot just run an addin DLL, it must be loaded by Outlook either when
Outlook starts or on demand. If an addin is registered in HKCU it's registered for only that one user. If an admin logon was used for registering in HKCU the addin will only be available for that logon. If registered in HKLM it will be available for all users on that computer. Depending on the version of Windows and user permissions, a user may or may not be able to run an installer that uses HKLM. If an addin is registered in HKLM it won't show up at all in the COM Add-Ins dialog in Outlook 2003, it will in 2007 but its status can't be changed unless the Outlook user is running under an admin logon. Addins registered under HKLM are considered as administrative installations, not to be messed with by users. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
