Hi
I cant find the resource I last used but there are heaps of web pages
about this. See link below for the codegear one hat has some
information that may be of use.
http://pascalfonteneau.developpez.com/articles/delphi/vista/uac/VistaUACandDelphi.pdf
Some time (before Vista) we made the jump out of the registry and back
to ini files and have never regretted it ! Certainly made Vista
enabling our app pretty easy :)
Cheers
Rob

Hi all,
I'm about to pull a chunk of
code out of my Delphi app and bundle it into another binary so that I
can elevate that chunk of functionality on Vista, while leaving the
main app running unelevated.
I've seen a number of references
to the blog posting linked below which I can't get access to (when I
visit it, it says I haven't been invited to read that blog). I believe
this article to be describing how to package this code up into a COM
DLL and elevate my administrative functionality that way.
Can anybody here provide more
information on this process? I know how to write COM DLLs no problem,
but I'm unsure about whether there are other issues involved here?
Or does anybody have an
alternative suggestion for functionality requiring elevation on Vista?
The other alternative I've got is just to bundle my code into a simple
executable with an elevated manifest resource compiled into it, and
simply ShellExec that.
(The functionality in question
is simply writing value(s) to "our" key in HKLM in the registry).
Thanks,
Conor
