To work properly DocIntegrateOutlook needs for several registry keys to be installed. They are listed on this page.
There are 4 keys required by Microsoft Office to be set, that are needed to launch any Outlook VSTO add-in. They can be installed to the HKLM or HKCU registry store, depending on the installation scope of the addin (per machine/per user). All the key values are presented as they appear in the wix script (with path variables).
Registry key path | Value name | Value type | Value | Description |
Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\DocIntegrateOutlook | Manifest | string | file:///[APPLICATIONFOLDER]DocIntegrateOutlook.vsto|vstolocal | Path to manifest of the plugin. |
LoadBehavior | integer | 3 | Must be set to 3, which specifies that the add-in is loaded at startup. | |
FriendlyName | string | DocIntegrateOutlook | A descriptive name of the add-in that is displayed in the COM Add-Ins dialog box in the Microsoft Office application. | |
Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\FormRegions\IPM.Note | DocIntegrateOutlook.DocIntegrateRegion | string | =DocIntegrateOutlook
| This key is set to point to Outlook what FormRegion to load for the DocIntegrateOutlook addin |
One key is required for the wix script to work properly. It has no impact on the logic of the add-in, just the placeholder. It can be set anywhere with any value. By now it's:
| Registry key path | Value name | Value type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\DocIntegrateOutlook | InstallFolder | string | [INSTALLFOLDER] | Wix script placeholder |
One key is required by plugin to set the casebrowser url. Also can be set to HKLM or HKCU, if both are set then add-in uses HKCU value.
| Registry key path | Value name | Value type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
SOFTWARE\DocIntegrate | CASE_BROWSER_BASE_URL | string | e.g. http://192.168.3.28:9080/casebrowser
| URL of the casebrowser server |
