I figured it out. It was classic user error. <Crap/>

I'm working on deployment of a managed Word Add-in. Managed Word Add-Ins in Office 2007 are registered under the HKCU registry hive, hence I'm creating a per-user installation. My question is regarding the HKCU registry keys-they are not being removed during product uninstallation... Installation creates these keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\My.Addin HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Install\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\My.Addin HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\My.Addin HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\My.Addin HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-124525095-708259637-1543119021-160673\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\My.Addin And after uninstallation, these keys remain... HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\My.Addin HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-124525095-708259637-1543119021-160673\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\My.Addin ... which causes Word to moan when launching that it couldn't find the code files for the 'registered assembly' as defined by the left over registry keys within HKEY_CURRENT_USER\... I've tried authoring explicit Remove registry key / value entries, etc... but none of those attempts removed the HKCU registry keys.
