Unable to load add-in registered under HKLM for MS Project 2007.

Question
-
Hi,
I have developed an Add-In for MS Project. The add-in is working fine for MS Project 2010 as the add-in is registered under HKLM, but when i try to load an add-in for MS Project 2007 the "LoadBehavior" value changes from 3 to 0, so i was trying apply the above mentioned hofix (office-kb976477) in order to get add-in worked for MS Project 2007.
But i am not able to install this hofix on my machine, it shows the message "The expected version of the product was not found on the system." when i try to install the hotfix.
I tried to resolve the problem by installing "Microsoft Office suite Service Pack 2" as it is mentioned at support.microsoft.com/.../976477 and then applied the hotfix but it gives the same message.
There is Microsoft Office Standard 2007 and Microsoft Office Project Standard 2007 installed on my machine.
Any idea/suggestions?
Thanks,
-A-B-

Thanks DaminD for reply but still not able to load an add-in even after installing SP3 for project at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27811 .
And the behavior is same as it was that is the "LoadBehavior" value changes from 3 to 0 in the registry for MS Project 2007.
Also in "COM Add-Ins" dialog of MS Project, my add-in remains unchecked and its load behavior is as,
Load Behavior : Unloaded.

Yes, i added EnableLocalMachineVSTO to the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\General
and set it to 1, the add-in is getting loaded and working fine now.
Thanks DamianD for your suggestion.
