Hi,

I am working on an installer application to install 2 COM components in the system32 directory. I had this implemented previously to install to a different directory (i.e. C:\sample\dll) and it worked fine. The setup app seems to crash though when I changed the path to C:\windows\system32. This is the error I receive...

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80110401) Errors occurred accessing one or more objects

I am guessing its a configuration problem?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Possibly need greater privileges to install into the system folder.

That's what I thought as well...but I gave myself full control in the security tab to test it out and I still get the same message.

Did you already try to just copy these components to the system32 directory without any errors? Iam not an experienced programmer but what I have noticed is that some installation of certain software extract some files to a temporary folder first and than copy them to the destination (system32) folder. I don't know why it is done like that. Maybe due to what you are experiencing?
