Thread Install to RAD Studio 2010 on Windows 7 64-bit

OK, I had a problem like this once before on Vista and Tim helped me out.

I downloaded the latest release of DBISAM (430b2dbisamvclcsr2010.exe); I logged into my usual Limited Account and ran (double-clicked) the file. Windows 7 insisted on asking me to give Administrator permissions, which I did. The install ran to completion but when I started up RAD Studio and opened a VCL project the dbIsam components were missing from the component pallette.

This happened in Vista and I was told to not run As Administrator, which worked. However, this time I DIDN'T Run as AdministratorI but, as I say, Windows 7 still insisted on elevated permission.

Anyone have any similar issues and, presumably, found the solution?

Thanks.

Norman,

I'm not using D2010, only D2009.
Anyway, I installed it in 2 computers, as well as DBISAM and EDB, both
computers running Win7 64 bits, with  no issues.
The only 2 precautions I have had when installing were:

- Making sure the account I'm using is an administrator account

- Turning the User Account Control OFF
   (In win 7 it means setting it to the lowermost level).

Fernando:

OK, but if you INSTALL DBISAM while logged in as an Administrator will it still show if you then logoff and log back in with a Limited account? I want to work as a Limited user; last time (Vista) Tim told me to just install while logged in that way and it worked. This time no.

Norman,

You could add the regular user you are going to use to the
Administrators group, then install DBISAM, as well as other components
you need to install, and then remove that user from the administrators
group again.

Hi Norman,
Installing any VCL to the Program Files folder usually results in some
issues when UAC is enabled and other default Windows settings. Sometimes
even Delphi has to run at elevated permissions just to build the App.

I like to install ALL my VCL within a folder in the "All Users" folder. So
something like C:\Users\Public\VCL\... I think this installation will work
fine with UAC enabled and Delphi run as Standard User.

Regards

Thanks Gregory (and Fernando), I have an e-mail into Elevatesoft support but I'll give your suggestions a try in the meantime.

From email:

This is the same problem that you had before - I haven't been able to fix
the installations yet because there is some serious work behind this, such
as manually loading the registry hives for each user and updating their
registry hive accordingly in a transactional manner.  Basically, things that
Inno Setup should be doing, but doesn't (not complaining, it's free Smiley.

Just make sure to run the install, and then manually add the package for the
limited user using the Component/Install Packages/Add button.
