Hmm, all seems to be well if I set ALLUSERS=1 <grin />. Apparently the
default of an MSI is a per-user installation. So this isn't an issue with
heat or registry permissions at all, but user error. Is this typical in
most installations where you have to explicitly set ALLUSERS=1?

I have been using heat.exe to generate my version 3 information for
files. For my COM objects, I noticed a strange behavior. Heat.exe seems
to properly setup the registry keys that I need, but the permissions on the
CLSID\[my guid] keys differ than those that would be set if I used regsvr32
on the same DLL. Has anyone else experienced this? Here are the
permissions that get setup for one of my CLSID\[GUID] key that is associated
with my COM object:
Name Permission Inherited From
------------ ------------------- ---------------------
local\Admin Full Control CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
SYSTEM Full Control CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
Administrators Full Control CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
RESTRICTED Read CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
When it is registered by regsvr32 I get the following:
Name Permission Inherited From
------------ ------------------- --------------------
Users Read Parent Object
Power Users Special Parent Object
local\Admin Full Control CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
SYSTEM Full Control CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
SYSTEM Full Control Parent Object
Administrators Full Control CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
Administrators Full Control Parent Object
CREATOR OWNER Full Control Parent Object
What happens in my program, is when our service calls CoCreateInstance on
the COM object, it fails that that class is not registered. The service is
running as local system. However, when instantiating a COM object from a
process run as local\admin it works fine. Am I not setting something up
properly?
