Extensibility Addin Vs. VSTOAddin
morna <mtirona[ at ]gmail.com> 5/7/2007 6:25:56 PM
Can someone explain the advantage to developing as VSTO Addin vs an
Extensiblity Addin? My target production environment has User's that
do not have admistrator rights to load a VSTO Addin and it is my
understanding that the VSTO Addin can only be loaded and work for the
"Just for Me" option that puts the registry setting in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Is there a way to get the advantage of the shim that is built into
VSTO Addin's for the "Everyone" option (writing keys in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)?

Thank you for your time.

It's my understanding from a comment posted by a member of the Outlook team
that Outlook 2007 will ignore any addin registered in HKLM when it starts up
and will not start that addin.
