Question

I have a WindowsXP configured as a build machine. The build process runs under an account which isn't an administrator.

Some projects register as a last step an ocx control with something like

regsvr32 /s /c ".\debug\myocx.ocx"

This step fails and I assume that this has something to do with rights because doing the same under an admin account works fine.

What rights/permissions/policies do I need to give the build account and where do I do it? (Browsing Local Users and Groups and Local Security Settings haven't helped me)

Was it helpful?

Solution

Via regedit you need to give the build account rights on "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

Right-click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and choose Permissions...Full Control.

OTHER TIPS

Registering an OCX comes down to writing entries in the registry under HKLM. Non-admin accounts by default don't have rights there, and I'm not too sure your build account should (installation of debugging OCX's is still "installation" (v.s. building) in my book).

Please check for error messages of regsvr32 as given in

and also I am not sure about /c switch..

Hope this may help.
