Installer, activex and vista

I'm making an installer for an activex web control. I have it all setup, the installer installs all files and registers the controls. this work PERFECTLY on xp, but on Vista we run into a few problems.

First I installed the controls without 'User Account Control' enabled and it worked like a charm. But when this feature is enabled and i install the application I am forced to give the isntaller admin rights since it is an installer. then when i load internet explorer as a normal user, and load up the control it freezes the internet explorer.

I know this might not have anything to do with the NSIS installer, but if anyone has ever had a similar problem please help me out.

Thanks,
Damoun.H.

Perhaps you should try giving everyone access... i.e. BUILTIN\USERS. This can be done with the AccessControl plug-in.

I tried giving the files full access for builtin users. but it did not seem to do anything =(

well if did change the file permission, but the same problem still occurs
