TITLE   :BUG: Add-Ins Only Visible to the User Who Installs VB
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:6.0
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

======================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions
   for Windows, version 6.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

After you install Visual Basic and log on to the machine as a different
user (with or without administrator privileges), you cannot see any Add-Ins
in the Add-In dialog in Visual Basic.

CAUSE
=====

Visual Basic retrieves available Add-Ins based on the CurrentUser Settings
in the Registry. When a user logs on to a machine and launches Visual
Basic, Visual Basic determines which Add-ins to load by checking on the
CurrentUser keys. Because users who log on to the system have their
individual settings, Visual Basic will load Add-Ins differently for
different users.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Install Visual Basic, including all the wizards.

2. Log off the machine after setup finishes, and then log on as a different
   user.

3. Start Visual Basic, click on the Add-Ins menu, and then select Add-In
   Manager. Depending on your user setting, you can see a few or no Add-Ins
   under the Available Add-Ins list box.
