Thread: run-time error 429
Hi, New to this listserve hope someone can help me. I've installed version 1.1.59 on a Windows 2000 workstation and get this message when users try to run pgAdmin: run-time error 429 ActiveX component can't create object. pgAdmin works for the Administrator account who installed it but can't get it working for anyone else even other admins. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help, Linn

Unfortunately one of the new 'features' in Windows 2000 is th ability to register ActiveX components for individual users, or the whole system. Obviously the former is happening in your case. The Wise Installer that we use appears to be defaulting to per user - I've added a property to the distribution that *should* force it to machine based if the installing user has admin privileges, or user based if not. This will be in the next release. Regards, Dave.
