Hi,
where can i find some in the documentation on creating an installer for an office vsto addin, specifically on the 'only for me/for all' option?
I get the installer to work fine on the 'only for me', but it is failing on the 'for all' option.
I think the problem is related to the restricted user path in the APPDIR setting.
Thanks for your guidance!

Hello,
Indeed this may happens if the related Add-in is creating registry entrance under the Current user. You should create the registry entrance under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry.
In order to achieve that you can go in the Registry page and create the entrance for the related add-in so it can be registered under the local machine. This should allow the Add-in to be available for all users.
Also, can you please make sure that you have the Per-machine only(fails if user is not administrator) option for the Installation type from the Install Parameters page.
Please let us know if that helped.
Best regards,
Dan
