Re: Outlook 2003 addin deployment problem

Halmut,
I am VERY foggy on what you have suggested. I have tried creating an MSI for
my program but within Orca, under properties I cannot find the ALLUSERS
field. Also, can you give me some links to articles that talk about how to
deploy the security settings and registry key for outlook?

Thanks in advance.
Roger
