문제
I've created an Outlook 2010 addin and a setup project to create and msi that would install the addin. On right-click and Install on the Setup project, I see the addIn in Outlook, but on clicking the XXX.msi file I fail to see the addIn in Outlook. Another difference I see is on trying to install it using the XX.msi file it gets installed successfully and also see an entry of it in the ControlPanel - Programs and Features list. On the contrary when I right-click and install, I do not see it in Programs and Features.
I've followed this link to create the setup project. Also changed the registry key from HKEY_USER to HKEY_MACHINE. - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mcsuksoldev/archive/2010/10/01/building-and-deploying-an-outlook-2010-add-in-part-2-of-2.aspx Any ideas ? Thanks.

The registry entries from the article linked are good. Check the architecture of your machine against the one of your MSI and version of Office installed. i.e if you have a x64 machine and install a x86 MSI, the registry entries will get created under "Wow6432Node" key.
If Office x64 is on that machine the registry entries created will not be visible. You will need a x64 MSI and the components of the registry entries marked as 64-bit, this way Windows Installer will not redirect the entries under "Wow6432Node" and any version of Office x64 should see them.
