[gme-users] GME Plugin Help

[Zoltan Molnar]

Hi,
In general component registrations can be tracked back to

1- respective paradigm not found (for which the component is intended for)

2- incorrect version of the dll (with respect to the GME version 
installed on the target machine)

3- lack of administrative  priviledges.

The third a little more detailed:

Windows XP
-----------
User who would execute the 'regsvr32 mycomp.dll' command needs to be 
part of the Administrator user group.

Windows Vista
-------------
The user not only needs to be part of the Administrator user group, but 
also User Account Control needs to be handled. To this day, i believe 
the rough solution to this is to turn off User Account Control, restart 
machine, then register dll.
