Hi John,
I have a similar problem. A VB6 form with just a ListView control and nothing else
triggers the Office Install when loaded. This problem doesn't happen if I login as
administrator but it does happen if I login as a regular user who belongs to the
Power Users group (Win XP SP2). If you find a solution other than editing HKCU, please
let me know (lopes@intersystems.com). I'll do the same.
Thanks,
Carlos
