RE: Excel addin does not load

If you used the setup project (created by Visual Studio) to create the msi
install package, it should be fine. If not, you should add registry keys to
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins", besides regasm
your DLL.

If you have manually deleted some registry keys on that machine and your
addin is not working, then that is the same issue I have met and in this case
I reformatted my system.
