One thing I would advise in general is to not install your application under the "\Program Files\" branch. Most places I see now are installing things under some other folder (e.g. c:\corp_programs\) where they actually have control of assigning access rights, etc. Also, if you have more than one .exe, make sure none of them have the words "setup", "update", "install"... (a couple other words too) - I'm not sure about Win 7 but Win Vista would just arbitrarily block execution of those (because the "names" sounded like something only an "administrator" should run). -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
