Hello, all.
I have the following odd problem (platform is Windows, Firefox version is
the latest 2.0).
To install a component XPCOM the procedure I use is copy the .dll to
"components" subfolder then touch the .autoreg file.
Why don't you install an XPI with the components in the user's profile
folder instead?
If you have to install the components for all users, then please be
more clear as to which user has what privs. Are you saying that the
user who installed Firefox, but the user installing components is an
administrator? Why is it so?

It works fine when I am installing the component with the same user that
installed firefox.
But when I try this procedure with a different user than the one that
installed Firefox, the Firefox simply ignores the new component.
I verified that the registration method is not even called.
Does this mean that only the user who installed firefox can do this
operation?
I need to use a different user because the former is not administrator.
Can anyone suggest me a workaround (if there is one) to this problem? Or
indeed, the user that installs xpcom components must be the same that
installed firefox?
Thanks in advance for your help
