Running a dev setup as non-admin [modified]
-
Hey all, I haven't tried google yet so please don't kill me. I've decided to bite the bullet and added a disk to my main dev box to boot Vista along with XP and Win 2K3. So now, I am just trying to figure out how I will set up my dev environment for building and testing and eventually coding on Vista. Currently, running and coding as a non-admin is how I operate using XP and 2003 and would really like to not have to run as an admin in Vista. Have any of you ultra early adopters ran VS2005 with a non-admin account? If so, can you point out any common pitfalls or little annoyances that I may not be expecting. [Edit] -- modified at 16:20 Tuesday 5th December, 2006 I should also mention that this[^] page has some resources that I've been looking at, I just want to hear from the real world rather than the hello world. TIA Cheers

I pretty much have to run VC elevated. VC6 help doesn't work non-elevated, and any projects that do COM registration (in any version of VC) will choke if VC is not elevated because regsvr32 won't be able to write to HKCR.
