My coworker is trying to register some COM components (which I wrote) via RegAsm.exe and it says he needs Administrator privileges. His account has admin privileges but he is not logged in as Administrator. Is there a way to use his regular user account and succeed at this task?
Admin privileges are required to allow Regasm.exe to update the registry. If this is a UAC restriction then create a shortcut on the desktop for cmd.exe and check the “Run this program as an administrator” checkbox. Or change this setting on the Visual Studio Command Prompt shortcut, that’s easier.
