Hello,
i found an nice addin i'd like to use to create some documents and i
installed it as administrator and i can see it in the toolbar and
contextual menus but that application doesn't show up if another logs on
the computer.

Here's a link to the addin i'm talking about:
http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~srg/softwaretools/presentation/TeX4PPT/

If you don't have miktex (http://www.miktex.org) installed you won't be
able to do anything with it but at least you should be able to see the menu.

Do you have suggestions on how to make the application available to all
the users instead of just for the person who installed it? This is on
windows XP professional with office XP professional. Except for the
administrator, all accounts are set as restricted users altough i tried
to give privileges for a while and it didn't make any difference.

Thanks.
 
The simplest way is to log in as a user and then install it.

Click to expand...

I tried that but as a normal user i can't. At some point in the
installation it tries register fonts and i just cancelled the
installation. I tried to continue the installation but i cliked on
continue many times and at some point i just gave up since i didn't know
how many more fonts it would try to register.

I also tried to go in the tools->addins and add the ppa file from the
\program files\tex4ppt\ but that doesn't do anything.


Thanks.
