Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP Post Install Issues
Condition:
Certain users are not allowed to run the FD90IP Application Software because the software reports the inability of a
specific set of libraries and files to load and be used in remote operation.
Cause:
The above condition is created by one of the key features of the operating system used (W2000/NT/XP). These OS’s
work under very strict group and user permission-control hierarchies.
Administrators have “full control” of the libraries and files that operate the 90IP, non-administrative users do not have
this control. By not having the proper access rights to files and sufficient privileges for the libraries, registry keys, etc.,
the non-administrative user may be unable to remotely operate the 90IP.
Solution:
The non-administrative user must have the right privileges to access the necessary files. The user must have the
proper access to open the registry keys opened by specific libraries. What follows is a set of guidelines
suggesting
a
way to allow any desired user to acquire the necessary privileges to run the FD90IP Application Software.
As an administrator (before the installation):
The account that installs the software must have administrator privileges. If tight security is not an issue in
the users computer system, consider elevating the system privileges. You are referred to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library
for more information on the subject. This will enable a user to run the
installation and have it work regardless of privileges.
As an administrator (after the installation):
•
The account (with administrator privileges) that installed the software receives full control of the 90IP-
related software.
•
If application software must be run by Non-Administrative users, the Administrator should not run any
application software after installation.
•
For Windows XP, the PC must NOT be in “simple file sharing mode”.
