Answer 1

Forget to add the registry keys.

Answer 2

You should always write keys under HKCU instead Local Machine or Policies. The addin will load normally from HCKU.

Answer 3

Add following registry keys under," HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\AddIns\YourAddinName.Connect".

Key name : LoadBehavior, Value :"3" (always load at startup), Value Type : integer (DWORD).

Key name : FriendlyName, Value :"Product Name", Value Type : string.

Key name : Description, Value :"Description", Value Type : string.

However, you can ignore the third key.
