Add Ins and upgrading from 2003 to 2007

[Robert]

How or why do installed add ins from 3rd party vendors (IBM ISeries,
Showcase) do not show up in installed add ins after upgrade.

We are doing research to rollout Office 2007 to over 500 computers and we
need our add ins to be there instead of doing them individually.

Please help.

The installed add-ins would be identified in registry keys of previously
installed versions of Office. I would expect that Office 2007 would update
the registry entries to install the add-ins during the installation of
Office 2007, but this may not be happening. You may need to write another
script to run after Office installation to handle the add-in registration.
