Our product is installed via an MSI which has been operating just fine under
Windows XP for the past few years. We just started testing on Windows Vista
and we are encountering an installation problem. The problem occurs when
attempting to register an ActiveX EXE during the installation. Unlike DLL's
and OCX's which are registered via RegSrv32.exe, an ActiveX EXE is
registered by runing the executable with the command parameter /RegServer.
For example: c:\folder\location\MyEXE.exe / RegServer
This is the step which is failing within the MSI.
Just for kicks, I tried this from the Windows shell. Sure enough, up pops a
security dialog box :-\. (BTW, this dialog box pops up every single time I
attempt this command. Shouldn't there be an option to mark the executable as
trusted so that I don't have to go through this once I've already indicated
that the command is safe?)
Anyway, how do I get around this for Windows Vista? Is it a matter of
signing our application code so that it will have a higher level of trust
under Windows Vista?
Thanks for your advice!
