I am trying to isntall an AddIn that I created using Visual Studio 2010 that adds a new ribbon button to Outlook 2010.

It all wokrs perfect untill it comes to deploying it to machines with multiple users. The Addin only installs for the currently logged in user.

What can i do to make it install for everyone? I have tried all the instructions/links from this post as well a other website: Deploying a Outlook 2007 Addin created from Visual Studio 2010 for All Users

I tried to look into suggestions of changing registry from HKEY_CURRENT_USER to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE but there are no keys in Current_User in visual studio in my project.

Thanks in advance.

    You are putting your registry keys into the wrong hive based upon your OS platform (you are putting the keys into the x86 OS instead of x64 OS path). The proper registry key for all users on an x64 machine is given below. Please update your installer appropriately.

    All User Hive (x86 Office on x64 OS)

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\[add-in ID]
