Re: HKLM\Init and MFC Application (further clarification)



You might try compiling your MFC application with eVC, not PB, and just add
it to your Project.bib or whatever to put it into the OS. This also might
be a problem with the MFC DLL (I assume you're using the MFC as a DLL
right?), rather than your application itself.
