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.


JRR
