Re: UPNP Problem with Windows Vista (or maybe COM problem)

No. UAC is especially significant when you are an admin. You only have admin rights when you start a program "As Administrator". Otherwise, your process runs with a restricted permission set.

I'm not sure UAC is your problem, but it is worth a try. Right-click on your app and select "Run as Administrator" from the menu.

I'm logged has the Administrator (that has all access).

I tried both peer-to-peer and on a domain.

Concerning UAC, i think it is disabled by default on the administrator
acount. Am I right?

Hi,



My name is Ran and I am working on the windows CE group



I was able to discover CE devices from my vista box and to also get the
device properties.



Did you log in as an Administrator?

What kind of network the CE device you are using is on (public, private,
corporate)?

Do you have UAC (User Account Control) enabled or disabled?



Thanks,

Ran
