Create a Registration (.Reg) File for Add-In

[SP]

Is the procedure for install an add-in the same for the
various version of powerpoint (95/97/200/2003)?
Is HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0 the key to say that
in the computer is installed a particular version of
Office?



For Office 2000 I use:

Method 3: Create a Registration (.Reg) File for Your Add-In
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may
cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall
your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you

You can use a registration (.reg) file rather than code to
register your add-in. The following sample text can be
used to register an add-in REGEDIT4

[<key>\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0
\PowerPoint\AddIns\MyAddin]
"Path"="C:\\PPA_PATH\\MYADDIN.PPA"
"AutoLoad"=dword:ffffffff<BR/>


where <key> is the registry key (either HKEY_CURRENT_USER
or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) in which you want to register your
add-in.

This works for PowerPoint 97 - 2003
PowerPoint 95 doesn't support addins.

The only thing you need to do is change the version number:

97 = 8.0
2000 = 9.0
2002 = 10.0
2003 = 11.0
