RegSvr32 on Win7

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

On the new build machine I am creating I have installed Windows7 x86

The previous build server had WindowsXP. Some of my build actions call RegSvr32 to register COM DLLs for use by later parts of the build. This worked fine on XP. But when I run the FB7 IDE on Win7, the RegSvr32 calls fail because FB7 is not running as an Administrator.

If I run FB7 as Administrator then I can avoid this when I'm running FB7 IDE interactively, but what about running the script via FinalBuilder Server?

What's the recommended way of registering/unregistering COM DLLs during an FB7 Server build on Win7 without falling foul of having insufficient rights?

Unfortunately you have hit the steaming pile of poop called UAC, and there is no way to programtically elevate a users privileges. UAC is inherently incompatible with automated builds. The only real option here is to disable UAC, and since UAC is really designed to stop mom and pop installing a virus on their home pc this should not be a problem for IT professionals.
