I have no experience with the ActiveX issue you describe - I'll ask around to see if anyone else here has.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to make sure of one thing though - have you read my article: <A HREF="http://vistavitals.blogspot.com/2008/02/uac-avoid-elevation-like-plague.html" REL="nofollow">UAC: Avoid elevation like the plague!</A>?<BR/><BR/>Bevahiour may change depending upon whether you are an admin running with a lower level token or a user running with a full token.<BR/><BR/>Do you know if the ActiveX issue is caused by it wanting a FULL token or maybe it just wanting the HIGHEST AVAILABLE token?<BR/><BR/>Also, is there any difference if you launch the programs from a command prompt that is already elevated vs. elevating each executable individually?<BR/><BR/>Isn't UAC fun! :o)<BR/><BR/>Keep us informed - I'm sure many would love to hear about your progress.Gordon Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329071837400811838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834310151416822262.post-51117744340748600032009-01-07T12:21:00.000-05:002009-01-07T12:21:00.000-05:00More explicationWe are migrating our VB6 developed...More explication<BR/><BR/>We are migrating our VB6 developed software to MS Vista, but are receiving the error<BR/><BR/>"Unexpected error; quitting"<BR/><BR/>After doing a lot of mucking around I discovered that this is being caused because our software is set up as a ActiveX EXE so we can perform external scripting. However after changing the software to a Standard EXE the above error message no longer appears.<BR/>I know that right clicking a going "Run as administrator" sorts this issue out, but I want to open my application olso for other user not administratorAdam GRAREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053564603899940773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834310151416822262.post-71656029344592218902009-01-07T12:11:00.000-05:002009-01-07T12:11:00.000-05:00Hello,I have problem with VB6 "Active Exe" applica...Hello,<BR/><BR/>I have problem with VB6 "Active Exe" application in Vista.<BR/>For exemple if I created 2 "EXE ActiveX" in VB6 (App1.exe and App2.exe)<BR/>when I open App1.exe in vista it work good, but I can't open App2.exe,<BR/>it give me the error message "Unexpected error; quitting" <BR/><BR/>So if I click right on App2.exe and I open it as administrator it work,<BR/>but when i returne to open App1.exe it give me the same message<BR/>"Unexpected error; quitting" <BR/><BR/>The problem is that I can open only one ActiveX exe in vista !Adam GRAREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053564603899940773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834310151416822262.post-30605808955132212652009-01-07T11:55:00.000-05:002009-01-07T11:55:00.000-05:00You think it is the ActiveX part that is preventin...You think it is the ActiveX part that is preventing it from running elevated?
