Modifying permissions at install time.

[Dave Lame]

I have a DCOM server that has to be installed on many machines.
After running the install program, which registers the server, the user performing
the installation is instructed to run "Dcomcnfg" to change permissions that
will allow clients to launch the server. As it turns out, in our setup,
we always want to add a specific group with launch and access permissions.
Can I automate that process, so that the appropriate registry keys are added
as part of registering the server?

The server app is an MFC program written in VC++ 6. It has the appropriate
processing in place for the usual processing of the /regserver option on
the command line. If I knew how to write the code to modify the registry
and add named groups to the permissions list, I think I should just be able
to insert that code into that processing.

Thanks for any assistance.

Have a look at 'DCOMPERM 2.0' on
http://www.iapetus.com/dcom/dcomtool.htm
You can use this in your install program......
