OK, I've taken a look and it appears that registering the addin using
the outlook_addin_register executable during install does two things
differently than registering the addin DLL directly with regsvr32:

* outlook_addin_register sets the DLL path in InprocServer32 to
"pythoncom23.dll", while regsvr32 sets it to
"<installation_path>\bin\outlook_addin.dll"
* outlook_addin_register does not create the PythonCOMPath key
