Hmm.  I get this, too (with a CVS built dll).  I'm not really sure why,
though - Mark's the expert on this.  Hopefully he'll see this (hence the cc)
and bestow his genius on us all <0.5 wink>.

In the bin directory there should also be a file called
"outlook_addin_register.exe".  Try running this with "hkey_local_machine" as
a command line argument.  This should mimic what regsrv32 is doing, and
appears to work here (with limited testing).  The full command would be:

  > "C:\Program Files\SpamBayes\bin\outlook_addin_register.exe"
hkey_local_machine

For the record, there are lots of people that read this list and give good
answers!  (Although I appreciate the implied compliment).  Actually, at the
moment I'm one of the ones that's really busy with other work, and so don't
have that much time to help on the list right now, although hopefully
that'll change after this week.  Anyway, please be sure to always direct
questions to the list (as you did) rather than to any individual, including
me, as my rather nagging signature says; it's the best way to get a quick
answer.

You can read information about donations here:

Note that these don't go directly to SpamBayes, but to the PSF, who
(basically) paid for the initial development on SpamBayes, and help out with
other projects.  The above page has more details.
