How to install a com dll with non-admin a/c, per-user

[Guest CHANDRA]

Hi,

 

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate, Version 6.0, Service Pack 1.0

I've developed a com dll setup file, which gets installed properly with

administrator a/c. But I want it be installed by non-admin a/c and it

should be accessible just for that user. When I try to install the setup

with non-admin a/c, it throws an error message saying "You do not have

sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the

machine. Logon as administrator and retry this installation". I tried

the installation by turning UAC on and off - but no impact. Also I tried

changing the "Words" field of my setup.exe through msiinfo.exe (Some

where its mentioned to change this value for per-user installation). But

that too hasn't given me any success.

 

Please note, the intention is to install as non-admin and not admin

level installation.

 

Thanks,

Chandra

Sorry, but what you want is completely contrary to proper security

practices. No regular user should ever have such system-level access.

You might as well be asking for for help developing malware. If that's

not your intent, then redesign your application to be Vista-compatible.

You want to search MSDN for:

"Configuring COM Components for Registration-Free Activation"

 

That seems to be what you're asking for.
