Hi there

I've a MS WORD Addin dll. I register it with regsvr32.exe on Windows XP
clients.

I recently installed it and it ran just fine. However, when another user
loggs on the same PC and tries to start the program it fails indicating the
object is not registered.

So I've to register the dll for each single user.
But thats not possible for future because from time to time new users are
also loggin in...


Does anybody know a solution?

thanx.

Hi

In this registry key, add a new value (e.g. call it AddinDllFix)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

and fill it with this data:

regsvr32.exe /s "path to dll file"


Now the DLL will automatically be registered each time a user logs in
(note that the user needs to be a local admin for this to succeed).

Thanks for your help...

I hoped there's an other way than this workaround, but anyway...a solution
is found..
