Software Deployment

We had the same problem. We choose to leave our dialog as it was security thing and it was only once per user.

You could try a snap and find the delta of what change once you click ok, but if its per user you will need a active setup which i try to avoid, unless the VSTO thing has its own shortcut likes ours did (our software was ActionPoint) then you can use an advertised shortcut to get around that.

Otherwise you could be looking relaxing Office security through Group Policy, which I dont recommend for obvious reasons.

I dont know if this is relevant but it seems Office 2007 can only load add-ins that are registered under HKCU. Office 2010 can load add-ins registered under HKLM and HKCU.

I also read that Offic2007 can't load vsto addins from hkcu
Allthough the following regkey is copied down hklm to hkcu so i guess this is not the problem


The REgkey
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\User Settings\SuperOfficeOfficeRibbons\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\SuperOfficeRibbon-Word]
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003
"Manifest"="C:\\Program Files\\SuperOffice\\Ribbons\\SuperOfficeRibbon-Word.vsto|vstolocal"
"FriendlyName"="SuperOffice Ribbon"
