Ronald Wulff Jr 412.288.3601 [email protected] Reed Smith LLP 20 Stanwix St Suite 1200 Pittsburgh, PA 15222 From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 10:12 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Help with /regserver 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.
