Hello Dave,

As far as I know, this should be a by design behavior in Office 2003. So,
could you please make a confirmation with your customer if they encounter
this behavior when using Office 2003 and deploying the COM AddIn in the
HKLM?

We can suggest him to read the following KB article for more information,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290868

Misha has also posted a comment related to this in the MSDN forum,
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsto/thread/efa74b0c-1b47-41d1
-9a41-08959b39f48e/.

"The truth to be told is that Office 2003 never displayed HKLM deployed
add-ins in the COM Add-Ins dialog. This design had to do with inability of
the regular users to disable HKLM deploy add-ins (since this is controlled
through a LoadBehavior registry value located in HKLM which regular users
do not have a permission to modify). Office 2007 changed their design and
they would show HKLM registered add-ins in the COM Add-Ins dialog"

Hope this helps! Have a nice day! If there is any future questions or
concerns from you customer, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,
