Excel TDM Addin: Installation with a different (admin) user doesn't install the addin for every other user?

[Stjag]

Maybe anyone can help me with this problem:

Installing the Excel TDM Addin 2.0 with admin rights is working only for the admin user. If you log in as a different non-admin user you'll see that the Plugin doesn't appear in Excel 2003 anymore. It seems that there is a user specific part of the installation as well as a simple file copy action.

Our software distribution system works by installing all software with admin rights via a service under admin rights which seems to be a problem for the TDM Addin. For the standard user the addin is missing afterwards. Is there any fix to that? It would help to know how the installer connects the addin to excel, so we can replace this mechanism via an installer script.

Thank you!

Hi Stjag,

Did you use the latest Excel Add-In installer (version 2.0.1.14)? As I know the behavior you described is a problem with the installer of version 2.0.
