Registering COM objects in the system
Permalink   
 

Our existing installer registers an Outlook-Addin. Technically this add-in consists of several COM objects registered in the system registry plus creating some additional registry entries below HKLM for Outlook to find the add-in.

Is there a way to achieve this when our app is packaged using Cameyo?

Does the add-in show if you run your package with -exec [location]\outlook.exe ?  Documentation here.

No, Outlook 2016 crashes immediately without showing a window when started that way.

And even if that would work, it would require our users to start Outlook using such a command-line instead of the start menu entry they are used to. And furthermore, there are other ways for user's to start Outlook, e.g. by clicking on a mailto: link.

If the natively installed application cannot be launched within the virtualized environment, the packaged add-in will not be recognized outside the virtualized environment.  You would have to install it unvirtualized.
