NEED HELP

I am in a small corporation who has written some software using dephi and interbase it is for automotive shop management. software works great except when loaded on a win 2000 machine the registry is set in local machine so all users could use without issues but our problem is only admin level users can use software what needs to happen so all users can access software no matter what level user they are. thanks for any help,

First, let me state, I'm not a programmer. However, I do know Win2K quite well and have run into a number of programs that react the same way your software is reacting in non-admin accounts.

It really depends on what processes your software depends on in Windows 2000. There are a number of process files that are limited to being 'edited' only by admins. This is a security issue in Win2k - and I would expect in WinXP also.

MSVCRT.DLL (Microsoft C Runtime Library) is an infamous one for causing this, since a number of programs rely on coding this file for its executing purposes.

My workaround for this was to use the 'RunAs ' command in Win2k, which allows the user to run the app as an admin, from any user login - but this doesn't have the professional look to it and probably isn't what you would look to as a permanent solution.

Another solution may be to include the process files, that are normally included on the OS, actually with the program itself - therefore, the software will load its version of those files, instead of the protected ones in Win2k.

I also ran into this website : called Walls

that I think is addressing your issue - you may check it out for some ideas too.

Hope this helps atleast a little bit!
