Hi all:
I'd like to avoid the reboot while installing the MSI package, I have some clues but they are not worked as expected.
MsiInstallProduct(szPath, _T("REBOOT=ReallySuppress"))
After executing the above line the system rebooted without any warning. How can I really suppress the reboot?

I noticed that when I install programs such as Skype or MSN it adds some registry entries to HKCR (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT), and this was done even if I'm in regular user (not power user or administrator). How is this possible? I though only administrator or power user have access to add this key?

Since Windows 2000, the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key is a merged view of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes. The user's settings override the machine settings. You can therefore make a setting in HKCU which the user can write to. It's disappointing that more installers don't do this. Windows Installer knows about the difference and will write to the user's classes keys as appropriate if doing a per-user rather than per-machine install.
The user's settings are still machine-specific - they are stored in the UsrClass.dat file in the user's Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows folder. Therefore, even for a roaming profile, they don't roam.

Hi, as far as I know, a simple user do not have a user right to install any application. What is the group membership that your user account belong to?

Hello all, sorry if this is the wrong forum but I've no idea where else to ask.
I've created an ActiveX control using a 3rd party's tools (QT). To distribute the control I create an .inf file and wrap the .dll(the control) and the .inf within a .cab file. In this way, the control is downloaded from the web much the same as the Flash control. This all works great, and distribution does not seem to be an issue. The problem is, when I look within the 'c:\windows\downloaded program files' directory, my control is listed there, but its status is always 'Unknown'. It's driving me crazy trying to figure it out. I've torn apart the registry and looked into everything I could think of, but nothing seems to help.
So my question: does anyone know how the 'Downloaded Program Files' folder determines if a control is 'installed'?
I'd love to ignore the problem, but I want to be able to update the application using '#version' in my OBJECT tag's CODEBASE property, and it doesn't seem to work if the 'status' is 'unknown'.
Anybody have an ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Hi,
Don't you have to register the ActiveX control. I actually can't remember the exact syntax right now but I recall having to do it when using one. It's a simple command you can run at the command line.
Not sure if you have tried this yet.

Thanks Laurie.
I actually found the problem. It's very exciting and frustrating at the same time. There is a registry key created by registering the control and it places quotes around the file name when there should not be. Thus, the 'Downloaded Program Files' folder, which looks at this key to tell if it's installed, could not find the folder - so it would like it's status as 'Unknown'.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{GUID}\InProcServer32
(Default) was equal to "C:\windows\downloaded program files\pview.dll"
when it should have been C:\windows\downloaded program files\pview.dll
Such a silly problem to have...
Also, my version control within HTML seems to work fine now...
Thanks,
Matt

Great, It's always something silly isn't it thought. Glad you found your answer.

I am trying to run an lcd command on a networked server. When I run the command locally from my machine it works. If I run the command from the .bat file (uses ftp -s [filename]) on the machine directly I get permission denied.
ftp> lcd [physical path]
> [physical path]: Permission Denied
I have asked my IT department to check read/write permissions and they are supposedly set. Any idea why this would work when running on my local machine but not when running directly on the server?
FYI-have also tried UNC naming convention instead of physical path - still get error.

Hi,MapViewOfFile Fails only when ur application continuously do that or systems virtual memory is low.Is ur application continuously doing MapViewOfFile?.If u r doing so u have to ummap the previous Mapped views using UnMapViewOfFile.But u can use the same handle which u got from CreateFileMapping/OpenFileMapping api.
regards
Vairavan

First of all, thanks for the reply. Application is not continously using MapViewOfFile. Probably what I feel that systems virtual memory is low which is causing the failure.

You're probably trying to map a file that's larger than the largest block of contiguous free address space in your process. For example, trying to map a 2GB file in one go will always fail on a 32-bit system. Map the file a smaller piece at a time.

Thanks for the help.
Even I feel the same..Probably trying to map a file that's larger than the largest block of contiguos free address space is causing the failure. But the problem is that it is not continous. Sometime problem comes when trying to map 32MB of memory and sometimes 80MB of memory.
So I am not able to come to a conclusion and what should I try?

I have something of a problem. I have a standard ACL dump for a particular directory tree on a Windows 2000 server. I need to check a number of other servers, dump the ACLs, and then compare them with the 'standard' dump.
I have tried dumpsec, cacls, showacls and a number of others, and am having real trouble finding either a tool which will perform the comparisons for me, or a tool that will provide an easily parseable output so I can perform the comparisons myself.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Craster

Try to check this post[^]. May be its topic is relate to you too.

Are you sure you linked the right post there? That reply is about memory dumps.
Thanks for looking though!

I used the word "may be" in my previous post. I just give you some idea only and you should check it by yourself.

If the ACL file is just a flat text file then have you tried a diff program? Something like WinDiff? WinDiff[^]
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

I can do a flat text compare, but unfortunately acl outputs are not effective permissions, they're literal. For example:
Administrator: Full Control
and
Administrator: Full Control, Read
are effectively identical, but plain text comparisons aren't intelligent enough to work that out.
