Office::COMAddIn::put_connected NOT WORKING under VIsta

[Gancev]

Hi,

I add my code below. The problem is that in Vista the function
put_connected is not working.
On Windows XP is working in all combination.On Windows Vista if I start
Outlook with "Run as admin" it works, otherwise not.
I used the link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386106.aspx and
copy all keys from Local to current user but still not working until I
delete this reg key
:"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\OneNote.OutlookAddin.12"
My purpose is to disable One Note add in for specific messages only, and
the solution should work even if user start Outlook without using "Run as"

void DisableOneNoteAddin(bool state){
CComPtr<Outlook::_Application> spApp = GetMainApplication();
CComPtr<Office::COMAddIns> spAddins;
CComPtr<Office::COMAddIn> spAddin;
spApp->get_COMAddIns(&spAddins);
if(spAddins){
long numaddins;
spAddins->get_Count(&numaddins);
if(numaddins>0){
for(int i = 1; i<=numaddins; i++){
CComBSTR name;
VARIANT var = CComVariant(i);
spAddin =spAddins->Item(&var);
spAddin->get_Description(&name);
if(name == _T("OneNote Notes about OutlookItems"))
{
if(state) spAddin->put_Connect(VARIANT_FALSE);
else spAddin->put_Connect(VARIANT_TRUE);
}
}}}}

Thanks,
Stojan

If the addin is registered to HKLM then it's likely that Vista is preventing
disabling the addin due to its security, since a HKLM registration is an
administrative installation. I don't see any way around that.
