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

Hi Linn,

Does it work if re-installed whilst logged into one of the other admin
accounts (or a non-admin account for that matter)?

Regards, Dave.

Hi Linn,

You certainly shouldn't have to re-install it for each user. 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.

Chuck,

Please use the pgadmin-support@postgresql.org list for future support
issues.

To be honest, I don't remember. What OS and version of pgAdmin are you
running?

Regards, Dave.
