It is. I understand there are now alternatives to registering objects directly in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, but its not an itch I've had yet, and its not obvious how I should determine where the correct place to register is (eg, retry after failure, require explicit param, etc) and how this interacts with Vista (where a better solution in some cases will be be to arrange for the installation program to ShellExecute a copy it itself requesting elevation.) I'd welcome a consensus though :) Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
