UAC (User Account Control) is a new architecture under Vista which end users can run as standard users (not administrators) and still be productive. It got a little complicated to register DLL by RegSvr32.exe.
When register your DLL via RegSvr32.exe it will failed by error code 0x8002801c and 0x80070005.
When you use “Administrator” to install component via installation APP, this situation does not happen during Installation.
If you want to solve this problem, just turn off UAC (User Account Control).
This article will show you how to turn off UAC (User Account Control) in Vista beta2. (It should be noted, some article(UACBlog) also tell us not cancel UAC ).
In traditional view, [Settings] –> [Console Panel]
Press [User Account] –> [Change security settings].
It will pop up a dialog to show UAC. Just turn off it.
That’s it~~~

From XP-SP2. the firewall setting default will block all app connection except user approval. So, you can approve every app you want to execute and let it work correctly under XP-SP2 (also in Vista).
But if your appllication is a Window Services? How it work under Microsoft firewall ?
It will be blocked the communication automatically!!
Yes, ~~ if your app is a P2P window services, you will find it doesn’t work when the service is work, even you never get a assert dialog box.
How do workaround with firewall, if my application is a Window Service?
Use “Netsh” to change your firewall setting. For example if you want to enable specific app “fooAPP.exe”.
netsh firewall add allowedprogram “c:fooAPPfooAPP.exe” fooAPP ENABLE
if you want to disable a APP from firewall.
netsh firewall delete allowedprogram “c:fooAPPfooAPP.exe”
