MSI install not registering my DLL via Win2K GPO

Hi

I have created a simple add in for word, excel and poerwpoint (Office 2000)
in VB6 on Win2K platform. Its just a dll which adds a button to the Standard
toolbar. Now when I install this MSI by double clicking it on the users
computer everything works, the DLL is registered and the button appears (DLL
is Binary compatible and the .DSR initial behaviour is set to 'Startup').

if I setup a software install via GPO (Computers - Assigned Package - With
Elevated Privileges), the MSI copies the DLL across into the correct
directory but nothing is registered. Even though in the installer I have set
this DLL as being selfReg. Looked in the registry section with regards to
Office and nothing.

So no button appears on the users toolbar. If they then manually look for
the add in dll, and add it the MSI installer runs and the button performs its
functionality.

No error messages in the event log? Any body know why my DLL is not
registering itself?

Thanks

Yong
