Folks, I have an EXE which contains out-of-process COM components. The EXE is stored on a network drive and executed as part of a login script. If the EXE is first executed by a user without local administrator privileges, the program will terminate abnormally as it tries to update the COM registration details (this happens automatically in InitComServer as part of the application initialization routine over which I have no control). When the EXE has first been run by an administrator, it can then be run by a user with reduced privileges with no problem.
Now I have an issue where on a particular machine, when the administrator runs the program and then another user subsequently runs the program it works. However the user's profile is a roaming profile and when they return to the machine after it has been rebooted, they can no longer run the program again. It is like the registration entries have been removed. During searching today I have found notes where people have indicated that running out-of-process COM EXE's on Vista will simply not run because of the new security of that OS. I also found information on a memory patch to ComServ (called ComServTweak) that someone had written and posted to a Delphi attachments newsgroup, but I can not find the message with his example there. Can anyone help with with COM registration concerning EXE's please. I am pulling my hair out with this damned security. Many thanks in advance, Darren _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
