Re: Registering ActiveX control on Vista

Change your registration code to not store data in HKCR,
but to store it in HKCU\Software\Classes instead. No need
to override registry keys then.

On WinXP it is possible to register an ActiveX contol on a per user basis
with

FARPROC lpDllEntryPoint = GetProcAddress(hLib, "DllRegisterServer");
if (lpDllEntryPoint != NULL) {
HKEY hKeyCurrentUser;
RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, L"Software\\Classes", 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS,
&hKeyCurrentUser);
RegOverridePredefKey(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, hKeyCurrentUser);
RegCloseKey(hKeyCurrentUser);
(*lpDllEntryPoint)();
RegOverridePredefKey(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT);
} else {

Registry keys are generated under HKCU so no administrator permissions are
required. Under Vista (beta2) this does not work. No keys are generated.
Does anyone know why and what to change?
Thanks
Markus
