Hi guys / gals

I have a (POS) application that, unsurprisingly, is vital to our business.
The company that manufacture said app have decided that they need to use a
special executable to run it, which keeps the version updated. It's a FoxPro
app (blech) and for some reason, when they run it, the first thing it does
is call the main executable with the /regserver switch. I'm not sure what
this does, and would appreciate it if someone could educate me, because
unless you run it with admin rights (which ain't happening on my watch), the
thing fails with the error "Visual FoxPro could not start. Could not load
resources". Running with admin rights - all OK.

I've been looking at process monitor output all afternoon and can't work out
what it's doing, I've been messing about with registry permissions and file
permissions for what seems like an eternity. The great Google-God appears
short on inspiration (for me, anyway). Can anyone tell me what this
mysterious /regserver switch does, as I am sure something in our mandatory
profile is preventing it from executing?

As always, thanks gratefully provided in advance.
