VFPOLEDB only works for admins?

4 New Member
Hi,

I have an WinForms application that reads data from a dbf file. I have installed the VFPOLEDB.1 provider and the app worked fine in my developement computer, for which I have administrative rights.

Then I installed it in 2 computers for 2 different users: one of them has admin rights and had no problems, but the other is a normal user and got a "The 'VFPOLEDB.1' provider is not registered on the local machine" error message.

Back in my office I logged in as a different user in my PC and got the same problem. I tried reinstalling the provider and some other solutions I found online but nothing.

Does this mean that this provider only works for admins? Or maybe I'm missing something...

I asked a friend and he gave me the solution: I had to include 2 merge modules in the installer: Database_Access.msm and vfpoledb.msm.

I hope it helps anyone else with my problem :)
