I've had all sorts of issues getting OCX to self-register on Vista, and
eventually beat them out by making sure the installer was running
elevated. You're most likely correct, Mike. I bet tallow.exe needs that
manifest.

Have you tried running it from an elevated command prompt? That
sometimes helps with COM registrations (despite the fact that the
'canary' keys that HKCR, etc, are redirected to should be editable by a
non-admin user, I found that a low-privileged account didn't always work
under XP).
I wonder if Vista's own registry redirection feature for legacy
applications gets in the way here. Does tallow have a manifest to
specify asInvoker privilege level?

Does anyone know off hand why this would fail on Vista?
This same call works fine on 2003 server.
Thanks,
