I have deployed several Visual Basic 2005 Express applications and they all function on my XP Administrator user account. However, it appears to be impossible to run deployed projects on my XP user account which does not have Administrator privileges. I tried to change the privileges for this account temporarily to administrator, so as to make installation possible, but the application would not start. Is there any way around this problem Actually, I would wish the installation process to install my application on all accounts on the computer, which is normal when you install retail software. Is there a difference between Visual Studio 2005 Express and Visual Studio St. Edition in this regard This might be an issue for some XP users without Administrator privileges, who need to use a deployed VB Express application.< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I would appreciate some help with this.
Thanks
How to launch deployed applications from limited XP users

What is the application doing and what kind of errors are you receiving
R. Kendall
I have run some more tests and this is what I found out:
When I am trying to install a simple VB Express application on a limited user account, just displaying Hello World in a message box, I receive the following error message:
dfsvc.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
However, the issue only seems to concern the same XP user on which I deployed the application. From any other limited user account I can install the application without any problem(I did not realize this in my previous message). According to what I found out, it is never a problem when you install the application from an Administrator account. When you try to install it from a limited account it is only a problem if it is the same account on which you deployed the application in VB Express. Next, I will try to move the project to the Administrator account and make deployments on this instead. However, I think it should be possible to install the deployed application from the same account as where the compiling was made, even if this account is limited.
Thanks,
