Default COM Add-In Install Location

I have a COM Add-In I developed in VB6 that a user had a problem with
recently. The user did some maintenance (undescribed) on his PC and
afterward the Add-in didn't load when he started Excel.

The user re-ran the installer and the add-in still wouldn't show up.
After playing around a while, the only way he could get the add-in to
load was to move it from the Program Files/AppName folder to the
User/Application Data/Microsoft/Addins.

This didn't make any sense to me. It's a registered DLL, not an xla,
xlm, or xll. How on earth would this cause the add-in to load? Any
ideas?

Thanks,
Nick
