Hi,
I am using standard Visual Studio 2005 deployment to install an application, and have a custom action that installs a device driver using the Service Control Manager. However, on Vista (beta 2) I get an "access denied" error when I call OpenSCManager, even though I allowed access in the UAC prompt.
The installation works fine in XP, and in Vista with UAP disabled.
Do I need to do something special to install a device driver? -- Thanks, Robert Tonsing -- Thanks, Robert Tonsing

Unable to access Service Control Manager
Nah - just keep UAC disabled :o)
