Have a msi with a ocx file that wont register, when I install the msi i have to self register to make it work, or i have to launch the app , "run as admin" i can turn off the uac off ( Win 7 I am talking about) and it registers.. i have added reg files to automatically do this in my msi , but still wont register? Any ideas? :confused:

Answered my own question,,, if the app needs to run as admin to register the ocx?? which is strange ( instead of manualy regsvr32xxx.ocx) and its a msi that will be advertised to alot of users , and they dont need to be lauch it as admin to start: just created a reg file added it to the msi: 1.Open the Registry Editor with Elevated Privileges, refer to "Opening the Registry Editor with Elevated Privileges" 2.Navigate to: HKCR\regfile\shell
3.Create a new key by right-clicking "shell" to select New > Key. Name the new key RunAs. 4.Create a new key by right-clicking "RunAs" to select New > Key. Name the new key command. 5.Double-click (default)located at: HKCR\regfile\shell\RunAs\command
6.Enter the following in the Value Data field: regedit.exe "%1"
