Re: [WiX-users] help with Tallow.exe error on Vista
Debug your self-reg code and work out where it's returning E_FAIL. Yes, I
know this is nasty.

I've got it marked as run as administrator and I'm running it from an admin
console window.
Is there something else I can do?

I've had all sorts of issues getting OCX to self-register on Vista, and
eventually beat them out by making sure the installer was running elevated.
You're most likely correct, Mike. I bet tallow.exe needs that manifest.

Have you tried running it from an elevated command prompt? That sometimes
helps with COM registrations (despite the fact that the 'canary' keys that
HKCR, etc, are redirected to should be editable by a non-admin user, I found
that a low-privileged account didn't always work under XP).
I wonder if Vista's own registry redirection feature for legacy applications
gets in the way here. Does tallow have a manifest to specify asInvoker
privilege level?

Re: [WiX-users] help with Tallow.exe error on Vista
Well, it certainly is possible there is something in Vista that confused
tallow's registry redirection code. There have been plenty of problems in that
area (it's a funky little feature that causes lots of weird side-effects). At
this point, you'd have to debug the selfreg of your OCX a little bit to
understand why it is failing under tallow (probably some redirected registry
key is missing).
