Hello, all.

I have the following odd problem (platform is Windows, Firefox version is
the latest 2.0).
To install a component XPCOM the procedure I use is copy the .dll to
"components" subfolder then touch the .autoreg file.
It works fine when I am installing the component with the same user that
installed firefox.
But when I try this procedure with a different user than the one that
installed Firefox, the Firefox simply ignores the new component.
I verified that the registration method is not even called.
Does this mean that only the user who installed firefox can do this
operation?
I need to use a different user because the former is not administrator.

Can anyone suggest me a workaround (if there is one) to this problem? Or
indeed, the user that installs xpcom components must be the same that
installed firefox?

Thanks in advance for your help
