That said, updating an existing dll with a new version of the same name with existing keys in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive should not be an issue. The custom folder C:SCMBExcelTools (assuming not "C:Program FilesSCMBExcelTools") should not be affected by the security level of the logged on user unless the IT admin or through the logon process the folder security is being set restrictive.
