Our company is developing a Word COM add-in using VSTO. We have followed the deployment guidance found at this link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc563937(office.12).aspx
The project uses a ClickOnce installer and installs/runs perfectly under both Admin and Standard User accounts on standalone machines that are not managed by an IT team (home users, small business users, etc.) However, on managed machines in a corporate environment, the installation goes fine but at runtime Word starts up, does not finish loading the add-in, and displays a WINWORD error that reads: Could not initialize application. Error 42. Please try choosing Run as Administrator. We are seeing this issue at multiple corporate customer sites. Are there any known causes/solutions for this? Is this related to Group Policies IT may be setting?
Guidance or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
