Debug your self-reg code and work out where it's returning E_FAIL. Yes, I
know this is nasty.

I've got it marked as run as administrator and I'm running it from an admin
console window.
Is there something else I can do?
Thanks,
Dan

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,
