Office AddIn Registry Keys...

I'm having problems installing my addin reliably (using C# with CCW). The
issue I'm having is that there doesn't appear to be a consistent AddIns
registry key for each installed Office application. The documentation
states that there should be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\<ProductName>\AddIns

However, in inspecting my current setup... I see on a Win2K Server 2003 with
Office XP installed:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\AddIns
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\PowerPoint\AddIns
HKCR\Software\Microsoft\Office\Access\AddIns
HKCR\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\AddIns

However, Excel doesn't show up in either. When looking at the hives on a
different user's machine (Win2K w/Office XP) I export the keys and only see:

HKCR\Software\Microsoft\Office\Access\AddIns
