MSI Package creating unexepected registry entries

Hi Experts,

I have an MSI package that installs an Office COM add-in for MS Word 2003.  The add-in was created using Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005 SE.

The MSI package should install the add-in for all users.  For this reason, all the required registry entries are written to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.  All the expected entries that should go into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE are there but my add-in is not visible in Word.

My problem is that similar entries are written to HKEY_USERS.  When I remove these entries from HKEY_USERS, my add-in works fine.  I have no idea why these entries are created.
