    What I'm saying is that you cannot register an activex without being an administrator in both XP and Vista. «_Superman_» I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.

    Hi Dan, just a wild guess: maybe Vista is by mistake taking the same icon for all files in a particular folder; try creating a new folder and moving some of the files in there. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google - the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get - use the code block button (PRE tags) to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets

    Yep, did so. It's somewhat ugly X| , but in case there is no other way I can live with it. :-D Thank you. jung-kreidler EDIT: I was able to catch the thread, which blocks my file. The thread tries to Free and Release allocated stuff and thus is in its shutdown sequence. After closing the dialog this thread MUST be synchronized with the dialog shutdown, which is not the case... and I have to wait, since I can't synch with this thread... Another issue came up while testing: The file is deleted after the CreateFile finally failed, which is not intended, I think. :-\ ... timing bugs, hmm, is not only a Microsoft domain :-O ... Sorry, but my english jumped the rails while being in the battle. modified on Wednesday, February 18, 2009 10:11 AM

    Hi, We have a problem with two different versions of Vista. Vista ultimate and vista enterprise. With Vista ultimate if we install .msu file with "quiet" switch(wusa c:\Windows6.0-KB917607-x86.msu /quiet) from command prompt then it is working fine but the same operation fails on Vista enterprise. On the m/c we have admin credentials and UAC is disabled. Suggest on this. Thanks SNI

    You can change the permissions on the folder to give the Users group write access. But keep in mind the security implications; if a standard user can write there, so can any malware the user tries to run (or is tricked into running). --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~!
