Integrating a ClickOnce app with Outlook
- by AngryHacker
I have a ClickOnce app that used to be run by users with Power User privileges. So to integrate to outlook (e.g. syncing of emails, appointments and addresses) I used a 3rd party component from Add-In Express, which includes an ActiveX DLL.
So when the user would download my app, I'd register the ActiveX DLL (if it wasn't already registered) and then would just interop with it in the application.
Well, now the users had their privileges changed to standard limited User. Which means that they can't register DLLs (since it writes to the registry keys that are off limit). And the integration with Outlook fails, of course.
What are some of options to integrate with Outlook for my situation?
