Hi Linn,

You certainly shouldn't have to re-install it for each user. Unfortunately
one of the new 'features' in Windows 2000 is th ability to register ActiveX
components for individual users, or the whole system. Obviously the former
is happening in your case.

The Wise Installer that we use appears to be defaulting to per user - I've
added a property to the distribution that *should* force it to machine based
if the installing user has admin privileges, or user based if not. This will
be in the next release.

Regards, Dave.
