Hi,
I'm trying to install the extension without using any administrator privileges.
I've went through the following thread http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=10592
And I can't get it running correctly.

All keys should be registered under the "Current User" and not the "Local Machine".
Also, I cannot use the "run as administrator" and UAC enabled PC's.

I've added the manifest to the adxloader.dll and it didn't work as well.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Liron

Hello Liron,

You are developing an IE extension while the topic you are referring to relates to installing an Office extension.

The only IE extension that can be installed on the per-user basis is IE bar.

Hi Andrei,
I'm trying to deploy my IE extension with the following command: 
adxregistrator.exe /install="IE_Extension.dll"


Now it does not work when the UAC is up, and I can only get it work if I use the "run as administrator" to run the above command.

Do you have a suggestion or an example how to register the extension correctly?

Thanks,
Liron

Liron,

Installing an IE add-on requires administrative permissions. This is why the code line above works only if you run it using the "Run as administrator" option.

It would not require administrative permissions if you develop a per-user IE bar.

Hi Anderei,
Thanks for the quick answer.
We not deploying an IE bar, we have an extension that manipulates the DOM, and that's the only thing it does.
It does not have any user interface.

We are using the adxieHtmlDocEevnts.

We've have seen examples where the extension has been registered to the 
KEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerExtensions


You can see the ref here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8280306/how-does-chrome-frame-install-without-admin-privileges


How can we do it using the Add-in Express framework?

Thanks again,
Liron

I've installed it in this way and now IE says that ChromeFrame is installed as an ActiveX control, not an IE Browser Helper Object (BHO).

Add-in Express doesn't support developing ActiveX objects.

Installing an IE add-in without administrative permissions is not possible; the architecture of the IE extensibility doesn't allow this.
