Yeeah. The more I find out about Word adin deployment the more I get pissed. For example in order to install an addin for all users in Office 2007 you need to install a hotfix. A well known hotfix that dates to before Office SP1 but it's still not included in official patches, not even in SP3. But curiously if I'm installing for a single user the pattern: file:///C:\Program Files\ . . . works fine. The only thing I would ask of you is do you know of any handy resource that could teach an MSI newbie how to include msp installer of a patch in his msi installer.
