Vista and RegistryFree COM\OCX

 

The introduction of Vista enforces new rules regarding deploying applications, and often the need for "Administrator" rights. In the real world (and not on a developers machine) access to the registry is required for the registering codejocks.

 

If this was an installation program then perhaps I would have a different view, but I actually only update a main application server and the rest of the files are deployed out to each client machine as they connect. The clients don't have 'Administrator' rights, the files are therefore copied to the user 'virtual store'. Regsvr32 cannot be called because they don't have permissions.

 

The ideal solution would be to use a manifest as in RegistryFree COM therefore not requiring writing to the registry.

 

Would someone in the know....like to tell me where I went from in this manifest construct!......Please! :)

 

Any constructive help is welcomed!

 

Regards

 

Neil

The above manifest did work for me however, the only changes I did where to define the folder for the filename and clear the "helpdir" values.

 

Otherwise this worked like a dream!

 

I compiled my manifest into my executable, the code inside the execuatble managed the license.

 

We now have different versions of our product different versions of codejock running on the same machine (Vista, XP, 2008, 2003) and nothing registered.

 

Depending on your application you could external manifest data, but remember XP and Vista don't work the same way (typical of Microsoft).
