I have a slightly different twist on this problem:
I have an application developed using VB6 which makes use of the MS DataGrid. I
have built the install using Visual Studio Installer 1.1.
The issue is when a user logs in for the first time and runs the application, whenever
the datagrid is to be displayed, MS Office installer kicks off.
I have been able to address this by updating the registry as needed with the fix
supplied below (thanks Phillip!) However, I have many users whose accounts do not
have access to write to the registry, and since the fix is at the HKCU level, it
doesn't help to apply it when installed.
Is there a way I can use this grid without triggering Office install? Or a registry
fix not at the HKCU level? The application does not require Office. If I put it
on a machine without Office, it runs just fine.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
Regards,
John
