Hi,

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate, Version 6.0, Service Pack 1.0
I've developed a com dll setup file, which gets installed properly with
administrator a/c. But I want it be installed by non-admin a/c and it
should be accessible just for that user. When I try to install the setup
with non-admin a/c, it throws an error message saying "You do not have
sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the
machine. Logon as administrator and retry this installation". I tried
the installation by turning UAC on and off - but no impact. Also I tried
changing the "Words" field of my setup.exe through msiinfo.exe (Some
where its mentioned to change this value for per-user installation). But
that too hasn't given me any success.

Please note, the intention is to install as non-admin and not admin
level installation.

Thanks,
Chandra

Sorry, but what you want is completely contrary to proper security
practices. No regular user should ever have such system-level access.
You might as well be asking for for help developing malware. If that's
not your intent, then redesign your application to be Vista-compatible.

You want to search MSDN for:
"Configuring COM Components for Registration-Free Activation"

That seems to be what you're asking for.
