FAQ: TBarCode Office Installation

Add-In Is Only Available for the User Who Has Run the Setup

Add-In Is Only Available for the User Who Has Run the Setup

After TBarCode Office installation, the add-in is only visible for the user who has installed the product (e.g. the Administrator), other users can not see the add-in. This may happen with a per user installation (e.g. the "All Users" option is disabled for Office 2007). Use one of the two options below to solve this problem.

Register the Add-In VSTO File for the Actual User

In order to make the add-in available for another user, you have to register the Office VSTO files for the actual user account again.

To do so, login under the user account, switch to the installation folder - e. g. 

C:\Program Files (x86)\TEC-IT\TBarCodeOffice 11\bin\Word
C:\Program Files (x86)\TEC-IT\TBarCodeOffice 11\bin\Excel
and execute TECIT.TBarCode.WordAddIn.vsto and TECIT.TBarCode.ExcelAddIn.vsto with a double-click. Then restart Word and Excel. Now, the add-in should also be visible for the actual user account.

Register the Add-In for all Users in HKLM

TBarCode Office 10.4 (and later) offers an option for registering the add-in for all users in the setup program. This option will create an entry in the HKLM registry hive. If you currently have installed a previous version you have to uninstall it first.

Office 2010 and newer support registering VSTO add-ins for all users through HKLM. For Office 2007, Microsoft describes the requirements for Service Pack 3 or the former KB976811 hotfix and the EnableLocalMachineVSTO registry setting in these deployment instructions.
