Hi guys:
I have created an IE addin using Addin Express 2009.
It is a very simple sample addin that does NOT write any data
to local disk.
It works great in most cases. However, it crashes under Vista 32x
with the Protected Mode enabled in IE v.8. In fact, the addin
does not seem to load at all when IE runs with Protected Mode.
But if I run IE as Administrator, then the addin gets loaded and
works as expected.
Do you have any guidelines that I can follow to make sure the addin
works properly under Protected Mode? Maybe, you have some
suggestions on how to prompt user for elevated privileges when addin
is loaded?
I have seen some forum threads where you suggest using protected mode
api. But I do not think this applies in my case as no data is saved by the addin.
Here is the error log I am getting:
Detailed technical information follows:

Hi Andrey.
Do you call a web service from the add-on? |

Hi Sergey:
Yes, as a matter of fact, I have a web service proxy in my add-in. However, I never make web service
calls when IE loads my add-in. This is what baffles me: the add-in fails long before
I make a remote method call. I suspect it fails in the proxy constructor. Is it some dynamic compilation problem?
BTW: Forgot to mention... When I launch IE with protected mode enabled I get the following warning prompt:
"This program will open outside of Protected Mode. ...
Name: csc.exe
Details: Microsoft.NET/Framework/v.2.0... ./csc.exe"
I figure it has something to do with the compiler, but I cannot put my finger on it.
What is your take on this?

Hi Andrey.
You get this warning because the compiler is not registered in the ElevationPolicy registry key.
You can read about it here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista-security/PMSurvivalGuide.aspx
I would advise you to communicate with the web service from a separate .exe application which starts as a medium intergrity process by default. |

Hi Sergey:
I have added the ElevationPolicy setting for the compiler to registry as you recommended and
as a result the warning prompt no longer appears. But my addin still fails to load due to
error instantiating the web service proxy instance in the constructor.
I assumed that the executable file adxloader.exe generated by adxregext.exe during installation
was already supposed to load my addin with medium privileges and therefore creating
web service proxy instances should have worked (when I lauch adxloader.exe I get a message
from console "Medium").
Could you please explain the role of adxloader.exe and how it can or maybe cannot help me
work with web services in the addin?

Hi Sergey:
Thank you for the latest reply. It was a breaker! I solved a problem with accessing web services
by pre-generating serialization assembly for the dll which uses web services. Now at least I can
see the addin loading into IE. But I struck yet another snag :( I get Access Denied error when trying to
read fr om or write to user folder. I figure this is wh ere your protected mode api comes into play:
just get a writable dir and save files there? Is this a correct assumption?

Great! Now everything works as expected. Using Protected Mode API I was able to get a writable dir
and write to it.
Thanks a lot for your help, guys!
