XP Security and .Dot installs

bob
Hi,
Plain Vanilla VS2005 setup project.
Install OK on XP machine and runs under administrator logon.

Once client logs, program won't open. Just gives one of those
Framework has encountered an error and needs to close messages.

A Look at the detail shows a mention of security.

App Runs fine on Win2k client machine.

I have had this on a couple of XP machines and have mucked around with
user rights but no success.

Anybody experienced anything similar?
thanks

Hi,

If you're running the compiled exe from across the network, it will fail.
There's a fix for it, sorry I don't know what it's called, but I think it is
called 'IntranetOK'. It allows you to run the program across the network.

We've had to use that for programs at my company.

And the app is just trying to open UI? not accessing anything...
opening files, registry, net... eventlog saying?
Had some problems with slipping on an sp on xp, was the firewall that

I'm not sure I understand. Here's some questions.

When you say plain setup project, are you using ClickOnce deployment, or
creating an MSI?

You install the application on an XP machine and it works if the login is an
administrator. But if the login does not have admin privs, it doesn't work?

Is that a correct re-statement?

Hi,
It has happened on a couple of apps.
I generally write to the event log for errors etc and use registry
read / write where appropriate.

Because it was not confined to one app I thought there might be some
generic setting or something that I am missing in the Setup Project.

I was hoping someone would say "You need to set Switch X or something
when you are deploying to XP"

I guess I'll have to get off my butt and put some tracing code in and
track down where it is throwing its toys out of the cot.
Thanks
