[texpoint-users] OS X OLE Registration Database 11 corruption

I've just installed TexPoint for a user on an Intel Mac running an updated
10.4 installation with Microsoft Office X. The software was installed
as root into /Applications/TexPoint using the automated installer. Users
have read-only access to /Applications.

When TexPoint is first added to PowerPoint, the TexPoint menu appears.
When PowerPoint is restarted, the TexPoint menu is not displayed, though
it does show as installed in the Add-ins dialog box.

If ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/OLE Registration Database 11 is
deleted before PowerPoint is restarted, the TexPoint menu appears.

Is there a solution beyond writing a wrapper to delete the file everytime
PowerPoint is started?
