Hi all,

I recently ran into a situation where my VB6.exe encountered loaded COM 
Addins in an automated instance of Excel. Whenever I registered 
DLLs/OCXs with regsvr32 the entries would appear under HKCU. Typically, 
COM Addins listed here do not load in auto-instances of their 
respective MS Office host app.

The question I have is why would some software use HKLM for their COM 
Addins, and how would this be done since (by default) regsvr32 uses 
HKCU?

Does regsvr32 support options as to what Registry hive is used?

Thanks in advance...
