How to register an ActiveX ocx file

[rahul.kulshreshtha]

Hello All,

I am registering an ActiveX as follows:

		CString ocxFile = L" /s \"" + ocxFile + L"\""; // for silent install 

		HINSTANCE hInstance = ::ShellExecute(NULL, L"open", L"regsvr32.exe", ocxFile, NULL, SW_HIDE);

It works fine when user has admin rights . If user does not have admin rights then it can not register. Any solution of it ?
I am developing in XP and testing in xp and win7

Any solution of it ?

Make sure the user has admin rights. AFAIK you always need admin rights to register ocx files.

Thanks Skizmo,

I know that it requires admin-rights.
For that I changed configuration of my MFC project to use UAC that worked but it will run the application in admin mode. So applicaiton will use admin's application data folder and I don't want this. Because my application is user specific so I want if any user is running the application then application should use current user's application data folder.

Do you have any experience using UAC just for few statements of code instead of whole application level.

Thanks,
Rahul
