Thanks for the tip on this neat program. Just tested on a problem software and it shows that the program is writing temp files to C:\ Any suggestions how to allow it to run without giving the user admin over the whole c drive?

I may give it another go tomorrow with a finer-toothed comb... 2009/8/18 Charlie Kaiser <[email protected]> Install Process Monitor on the machine running the app (or a clean machine with the app installed) and watch what it does. It should detail the exact calls to registry, file system, and network resources. You should be able to identify exactly which DLLs, exes, and registry calls you need to modify the security on (or point to their app and say "it's broke"). *********************** Charlie Kaiser [email protected] Kingman, AZ *********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 7:46 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Re: Help with /regserver > > Hehe...I doubt anyone has worked with it, it's a horrible car > wreck of an application called Universal Housing marketed by > a company called Civica.
