Issue using Self-registration property of Installshield 12 or higher on windows vista

[Pooja_bhatia]

we have upgraded our project from IS 5.5 to IS2008.There are many files which are registered using Self-register property of Install shield .
This was not a problem with earlier versions of Install shield but when installing IS2008 project on windows 7 or vista we are getting the following error:-
The follwing files did not self-register or unregister :

c:\windows\SysWOW64\cfx4032.ocx
Error accessing the OLE registry

c:\windows\SysWOW64\MFC40.dll
An event was unable to invoke any of the subscribers

Hopefully, this is a permission issue in vista/Win7.
Try to register manually using regsvr32.exe by providing the full path of the OCX.
Run the cmd as administrator.

Check if it works or not.

Hi! Like as above, we have upgraded our project from IS 11.5( not 5.5) to IS2008. We use a following IS2008 objects for DAO 3.5, jet 4.0 and MDAC 2.5
This was not a problem with XP, but when installing IS2008 project on windows 7 or vista we are getting the following error:-
The follwing files did not self-register or unregister :

c:\windows\System32\oleaut32.dll
Access denied

c:\windows\System32\stdole2.tlb
Error accessing the OLE registry

c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Dao\Dao350.dll
Error accessing the OLE registry

I have registered successfully an object in cmd-windows by means regsvr32. So administrator privilegies are right.
Any idea?

Thanks in advance

is your setup.exe running elevated?

Hi Omkar,

I have the exact same problem with mfc40.dll. Works fine in XP, but gives the same error in Windows 7. Tried the followin two things:

1. Manually Regsvr32 the dll and then ran the installer, still same error.
2. Ran the installer as Administrator. Still same thing

I dug this dll up a little and seems like a VC++ assembly. So checked the target machine it has VC++ installed.

I am really out of ideas out here

Any other suggestions?
