MS Office COM add-in registry location
7,078
If you have 32-bit MS Office on 64-bit OS then you'd want to check ..\Software\ Wow6432Node \Microsoft... keys also.

I have some COM add-ins in Outlook/Word that I'm trying to manually configure in registry, but I am unable to locate the corresponding entries. According to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386106.aspx, they should be located at
(HKLM|HKCU):\Software\Microsoft\Office\application name\Addins\add-in ID
or
(HKLM|HKCU):\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\application name\Addins\add-in ID
and I do see some add-ins there, but not all. Where are the remaining add-ins?
Thanks! Yevgeniy

thims over 8 yearsNo, this is not the place for add-in registration. This is a place for add-in statistics collected by Outlook (performance monitoring, etc.). You can't register add-ins there.
