Summary: Remove admin registry write requirements for install
Initial Comment:
Installing the plug-in currently requires write-access
to parts of the registry that a 'regular' user does not
have. We can probably register in other places to work
around this, which would be good. I'll try to get this
done for 1.1 (probably a2, but maybe a1).
---
Tips from Ryan Malayter:
The add-in itself appears to be registered with outlook
in the USER portion of the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\SpamBayes.Out
lookAddin
However, the SpamBayes.OutlookAddin ProgID appears to
be registered in a protected part of the registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{3556EDEE-FC91-4cf2-A0E4-7489747BAB10}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3556EDEE-FC91-4cf2-A0E4-7489747BAB10}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SpamBayes.OutlookAddin
Instead, I would think you could put similar entries
into the
corresponding parts of the user's registry hive:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\AppID
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\SpamBayes.OutlookAddin
Of course, the spambayes program files and DLLs
themselves would have to go into the
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data directory, which is the
only place a "standard user" can write on the machine.

In addition to these changes, I suppose that when doing
a "for all users" registration, we should do what we
currently do.

Apparently this isn't possible, see:
[ 784283 ] cannot install SpamBayes without elevated privileges
