Using Visual Studio 2005 I have VB project that produces a program that is
to be deployed using a VS2005 deployment project. There are some legacy COM
components that need to be registered with Windows.
Everything works jus fine under XP, including the COM components
self-registration. But when the deployment msi or setup.exe are run under
Vista (Business Ed), the self-registration fails with an Authorities error -
even when I hae the UAC turned off.
I can manually register the COM component after the installation fails, but
that's not a very elegant way to introduce a new user to the product -
having the installation fail and requiring them to perform as separate
manual step.
Is there any way to get a VS2005 deployment project to register a COM
component when run under Vista?
Thanks in advance,
Geoff

I would think that the deployment project comes out as an exe, msi ect ect,
since I have never created a setup project.
Have you tries right-clicking it and run it with Run As Administrator?

Is the behaivour same on all target machines? It's possible that not

this.

It happens on all the machines that I tried. I WAS admin on all machines.
I'm not familiar with Group policies - what are they, how are they managed,
andhow could they affect my users when they try to install my program?

This is what I would do at the moment for a quick workaround. I think Vista
can still run a Batch file. I would create a Batch file that is using
Regsvr32 Dllname.dll and register the DLL with the user executing that
Batch file. You can have the Batch file and the DLL in a zip file, and have
them unzip it and have them do it, until you figure out to do it with a Net
deployment project.
You may have to look at the .Net Framework Configuration polices, off of
Control Panel/Admin Tools at the machine in question to see what are the
rights for a .Net solution to do anything at the workstation level. It's a
shot and also policies on the Vista machine when using the secpol.mmc at the
Run Box, using Run As Admin rights. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello,
This is a continuation of a question I was working with Willy and Kevin last
week (both provided excellent information). I am still having troubles in
final stages.
I am trying to get an OCX to register on Vista with my ClickOnce app. Willy
instructed how to embed a manifest into the exe to request admin privilages
(requireAdministrator) upon launch (so the UAC window would confirm to the
user they want to run the program).
