V6 Runtime install in Win2k

We are having problems getting the V6 runtime to work properly under Win2k. The runtime installs ok but only works for the user who was logged in when the installation was performed.

Looking at the programs available in "Add/Remove Programs" of Control Panel, the runtime ones are only there for the used logged in at the time of install. The "dummy" application we had in the RT install is there however.

What we are trying to do is already working on some of the clients PC's but the orginal developer is "no longer of this world" (a sad but final story) and we can't work out how this was achieved.

Any ideas?

Hi alchemy,

First, it seems Windows 2000 will not let the User Account run programs that access the registry; this may explain why the "dummy" application you had in the RT install is there, while V6 is not.

You can fix this in two ways that I know of:

1. To allow the User Account to run a certain program, edit the following entry (policy) in your registry:

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Run These Programs at User Logon
<Type the full pathname of the program> here.

2. Install the V6 from within the User Account through Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs. Install V6 using &quot;Admin privileges&quot; - selected from Dialog Box (Admin password is required).

Hi Alchemy

You need a patch from Fujitsu Support to install the runtime version for &quot;all users&quot;.
Send them a request, hoping you are currently on support maintenance..

Hope in this help.
