Powerpoint 2013 Add-Ins register

[diana]

Environment
Windows 64bit
Office 2013 32bit

In Powerpoint 2013 when I manually click an add-in
Click File, Options, Add-Ins, Manage Powerpoint Add-ins, click Go…
The Add-ins dialog displays, click Add New… navigate to location of add-in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\ADDINS\MyAddin.ppam

I close powerpoint and restart.

The PowerPoint 2013 is failing to load the addin automatically.

I shut down and relaunch powerpoint a few times, eventually the add-in is loaded.


In the registry I noticed the addin is registered under the HKEY Current User hive ie

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\PowerPoint\AddIns\MyAddin.ppam]
"Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Office15\\ADDINS\\MyAddin.ppam"
"AutoLoad"=dword:00000001


I want to distribute deploy and load the add-in automatically in powerpoint

Doing a search someone registered their powerpoint add-in under HKEY Local Machine.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\PowerPoint\AddIns\MyAddIn]
"Path"="C:\\Microsoft Office\\Office15\\ADDINS\\Z_TRibbon.ppam"
"AutoLoad"=dword:ffffffff

What is the correct location(s) to register the powerpoint add-in in the registry
What are the values for AutoLoad – I did a search but didn’t return results
When I manually add the add-in the default AutLoad setting is “1”

TIA

Adding an entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER will set up the add-in for the current user. Adding it under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE will set it up for all users.

I think that ANY value for AutoLoad different from 0 will cause the add-in to be loaded automatically. 0 will prevent the add-in from loading automatically.
