#85404 - 2002-03-27 03:54 PM Unable to Register Kixgui.dll
rpl rpl Lurker Registered: 2002-02-25 Posts: 3	When trying to register the kixgui.dll under a normal user account on a Windows 2000 Professional workstation I get errors reporting that it was unable to register the dll. If I logout and login as administrator it registers okay. I am sure this is a problem with the local PC policy restricting access to users from registering dll's. How do I allow users to register dll's without putting them in the local admins group ?

When trying to register KixGUI.dll I get 0x80004005 which seems to be 'Unspecified Error'. Under NT4 the dll can be registered by a non-admin user no problem, but W2k wont allow it. I would like to avoid any embedded admin password type solutions (for the time being anyway). Is there a right or reg key that can be changed to allow non-admin users to register dlls on Windows 2000 workstations?

David Nicholls David Nicholls Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-01-02 Posts: 24 Loc: London, UK	Indeed, a quick test has shown that granting SeCreatePermanentPrivilege to the login user or adding to 'Power Users' local group works. From what I have been able to gather from Technet and a Google search, SeCreatePermanentPrivilege allows the creation of shares or '\\device'. Why does the dll registration for KixGui require this right (Alex H. ?) If possible I would like the DLL to register for that user only, and not require higher permsissions!

Alex.H Alex.H Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2001-04-10 Posts: 406 Loc: France	To add a little more to Lonkero explantation, the dll registration has nothing to do only with kixgui, it's like any other program installation. Whatever the dll is, you'll get the same problem, like the one to add a new Norton/Mc Afee/NOD/... version [ 10 April 2002, 21:43: Message edited by: Alex.H ] _________________________ ? getobject(Kixtart.org.Signature)

David Nicholls David Nicholls Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-01-02 Posts: 24 Loc: London, UK	Thanks for the replies. I'll have to recommend to our various teams that they add the create permanent right. The power users is too.. well, powerful for most users. We try to keep the desktop a little locked down. (or investgate the kix crypt type tools)!

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	that's good. we also have locked down wksta's in my current work environment. it just makes me more job. when network has a routine to reinstall windows or just to ghost to disks, the reinstallation is so quick (fastest is 5min.) that there is no point making your own work harder by limiting users rights on wksta. but like I said, it's more like corporative decission and neither way is not so bad. cheers, _________________________ ! download KiXnet
