PowerPoint 365 64bit ppam load addin

We have a PowerPoint (ppam) add-in file that we are trying to load via the Registry. 

We were able to load in our old environment (Office 2013 32bit) but can't seem to do so in the new environment (Office 365 64bit).

 

 

I pushed out the following key, but it doesn't do anything:

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\PowerPoint\AddIns\RibbonPP]
"Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\root\\Office16\\Library\\RibbonPP.ppam"
"AutoLoad"=hex(b):01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 (this is set as QWORD to allow for 64bit)

 

If I manually enable the add-in via File > Options > Add-ins > PowerPoint Addins > this works, but the next time I launch PowerPoint the add-in is again disabled and it has to be rechecked.

 

Thanks!

    Hello FawnEliz ! It seems you have an Add-In with VBA Code within, but its not loading within your new OneDrive? VBA doesnt work in OneDrive. Check out the new MS FLOW to get your procedures done with a flow in there instead. Greets, Eva.

      Thanks for the response.

      Nope, nothing to do with OneDrive.

      It's okay actually I used local machine reg keys rather than current user and it loads fine now.
