"Path/File access error" problem with OCX in 2003/XP

[Schmidtmayer Marc]

Hi all,

I've an application which 'includes' an OCX which I've written myself.
Until today, we 'still' work in NT4 and I have no problems.

BUT !
When I run the same program in 2003/XP I get an error at the startup
of the application : "Path/File access error".

There's NO problem when running it under the account of the
'administrator'.
The problem is there when running it under a 'normal' user.
This 'normal' user can register the OCX and has all rights to the
registry.

Under NT4 I have NO problem ...

Help please !!!

Thanks,
Marc.

I don't write OLE Control Extensions myself, but if I were to troubleshoot a
file access error, I might first try to determine exactly WHICH file access
it is having trouble with (if you haven't already.) I'm wondering if XP is
accessing some other process while executing the OCX which NT didn't have a
problem with.

Anyway - you could try running it on a Normal user with Filemon and Regmon
running in the background and see a little more of what it trying to do when
you're not looking:

Unless, of course, someone else has an instant fix for Marc?
