Where did you hear that? Just as all cats are grey in the dark, all component registration -- be it by regxpcom, XPI installer or custom calls to the nsIComponentManager interfaces -- is identical in the eyes of the registry. The problem you'll probably face is that under some installations (most Unix, some NT/etc.) the Mozilla XPCOM registry is writable only by administrators. We don't currently support per-user registries. Mike
