Vista, with Excel 2000, 2002/3 (don't have 2007 yet but hopefully same
applies) and VB6 dll's I'm looking for best approach to distribute & register ComAddin's and ordinary ActiveX dll's (for use with VBA). I also have some particular questions as indicated below. I can install a CAI via (Excel) tools ComAddins and/or register a dll manually or programmatically with Regsrv32 providing: - I'm logged on as an Administrator - UAC (User action control) is turned off (requires a restart and potentially intimidating for normal user). So, with quite a lot of effort I can install for an Administrator user. I haven't yet worked out how to install either a CAI or dll for use by a 'Standard User' - would anyone know? Even better, would it be possible to install CAI and/or dll for all users at the same time, manually and/or programmatically. FWIW, I managed to install an old (pre-vista) 3rd party CAI that has its own install program with UAC turned on. Wonder how it managed to do that, even with a registry hack (though couldn't get it to install in a Standard User's account). Closely related, does anyone have a view as to most suitable folder in which to place the CAI / dll. Ideally I guess(?) best to place in this 'virtual' folder - C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Addins \ This is the default UserLibraryPath, at least that's how it appears for me. It's useful, though not necessary, to install into this path for a number of reasons. However by default this path is hidden from user in Vista, adding an extra level of complication. Maybe, I don't know, my attempt to place the CAI / dll's in this folder prior to installation is what's preventing me from installing for a Standard User, if say the folder has some additional level of security/rights associated with it. Any comments or tips appreciated. Peter T |
