I am running under an Administrator console window and I am able to register
the same component with regsrv32 from the same console

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?

Does anyone know off hand why this would fail on Vista?
This same call works fine on 2003 server.
Thanks,
