Hi,

I have inherited a windows forms app, which automates software updates. It
is reasonably close, in pattern, to the Updater Application block from
Microsoft.

The app needs to register / un-register COM components on the client
machine, as part of the software update process. The logged on user will not
be an administrator on the local machine. What would be the best way of
implementing some form of 'run as...' or windows identity impersonation for
either the whole app or the COM registration functionality.

I have looked at using a service, but the existing app architecture does not
lend itself to this. Either as moving the higher security requirement
functions out to the service, or using the service to launch the app.

Any guidance gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Justin
