posted January 15, 2007 11:26 AM I have problems installing PowerTCP Telnet on my computer running Windows Vista. I use VS2005 with SP1 and Vista-updates. Every time I try to run my program, I get a License-exeption. I have after these troubles installed on another computer running Windows XP with no problems. Any ideas? |

posted January 15, 2007 1:41 PM Please do the following steps to circumvent Vista security features: 1) Browse to the bin directory where you installed Telnet for .NET (Most likely C:\Program Files\PowerTCP\Emulation for .NET\bin) 2) Right click "DartRegister.exe" and select "Run as Administrator" 3) Register again 4) You may also have to run VS2005 as admin, but you probably already know this. The reason it does not work from the default install is as follows: 1) We install to the Program Files directory and Vista does not like it when we try to access the HKLM registry key from that directory 2) For reasons that only Microsoft can explain, when you run programs from "non-User" space, even as admin, and HKLM access is attempted, they create a "copy" of the key and report back to you that everything worked. This has the effect of making our license manager report a successful registration that is not found by Visual Studio when it reads the registry later. Our next release will detect Vista and install to to User folder so that we can avoid these issues. You can expect a lot more security related issues with other programs in the coming months as Vista is adopted by the rest of the world. |
