How to install a com dll with non-admin a/c, per-user

Hi,

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate, Version 6.0, Service Pack 1.0
I've developed a com dll setup file, which gets installed properly with administrator a/c. But I want it be installed by non-admin a/c and it should be accessible just for that user. When I try to install the setup with non-admin a/c, it throws an error message saying "You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users of the machine. Logon as administrator and retry this installation". I tried the installation by turning UAC on and off - but no impact. Also I tried changing the "Words" field of my setup.exe through msiinfo.exe (Some where its mentioned to change this value for per-user installation). But that too hasn't given me any success.

Please note, the intention is to install as non-admin and not admin level installation.

Thanks,
Chandra

You want to search MSDN for:
"Configuring COM Components for Registration-Free Activation"

That seems to be what you're asking for.
