Login issues w/ other software - registry permissions?
Posted by magsred on February 3rd, 2006


I have a customer who has loaded a client software that does not generally
require a login. This customer has Windows XP Home edition. When he loads
the software and tried to launch it - it request a login and password. Is
this a registry permission issue? Does anyone have an idea of what should be
changed in order to let this software run? We've tried his administrative
password and login and nothing is letting the software open. Thanks for any
help in advance.

Sounds like the RunAs is set to default for exe and/or msi files.

Type the following in the Run dialog box

cmd /k REG DELETE "HKCR\exefile\shell" /va
and
cmd /k REG ADD "HKCR\Msi.Package\shell" /ve /d Open,Repair,Uninstall

If you give me some more file extensions names that are causing this, I
should be able to fix these issues.
