How to install a com dll with non-admin a/c, per-user
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 -- CHANDRA |

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. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot |

How to install a com dll with non-admin a/c, per-user
You want to search MSDN for:
"Configuring COM Components for Registration-Free Activation" That seems to be what you're asking for. Anthony Wieser Wieser Software Ltd "Bruce Chambers" wrote in message ...
