Discussion: Vista and Visual FoxPro 6.0 (too old to reply) When trying to run my app in Vista the customer gets: OLE error code 0x8002801d:Library not registered The application runs trouble free in all previous versions of Windows.

I will assume that it's the 32-bit x86 version. Did you try manually registering the special DLLs used by your APP? I don't know how to do it in Vi$ta though. -- iTech Consulting Co., Ltd.

The first troubleshooting step would be to have him run the app as Admin and see if it works. If so, you know that the user who ran your installer on that machine doesn't have permission to install stuff.

None of the previous versions of Windows required registration of the dll. Vista has more security issues. I'm going to try registering the dll. Does it sound like I'm on the right track?

Joe Dan, You only have to disable the UAC for the install. After installing the program, turn the UAC back on, and the program runs with no problem. Windows security does not work well in this area. The Vista error returned should be DURING the install, warning the user that "install privileges" are not available. I realized the problem after Man's suggestion, and my setup provider asking me to put an ini file in the Windows folder. Vista wouldn't let me save the ini to the Windows folder or the root of the C drive. Vista told me that I didn't have permission to save the file. That's when it clicked. So, you only have to castrate Vista for the install, then you can re-attach the testicles to the 800 pound gorilla. Really bad logic on Vista's part here. Thank you and Man so much for the replies.

Joe Another thing to make sure of with Vista is that you don't install under the program files folder. If you do, my experience is that anything other lower than VFP9 will require being run as administrator (even if your logged on as admin you need to set the shortcut to run with admin privileges or right click on it and select that option. If you just move the install to somewhere directly off c: (create your own folder off the root) then in my experience it should work even with user access control, which you can't necessarily count on the user disabling. -- Cy Welch Senior Programmer MetSYS Inc http://www.metsysinc.com Hi Man-wai Chang, If there is a run-as right-click option, shouldn't there be a command like sudo in linux?
