Hi Vladimir,

taking ownership of the registry key was really the right hint!

Thanks!

Hi, I have troble setting the required registry keys (VISTA). I can't change permissions for those keys and access is denied. It doesn't matter if UAC is on or off. Any idea?

Thorsten

Stephan,

You will need to use LRtest, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890613 for usage. Also feel free to pick this one up from the test tools installed with our DWG iFilter; www.dwgifilter.com

Good Luck,

Another interesting question is how to exercise the IPersistStream interface. As far as I understood an IFilter can only work under Vista if it supports IPersistStream. But the filtdump and ifilttst tools only use IPersistFile, or did I overlook something in the documentation? Is it necessary to write a special test driver to exercise the IPersistStream interface?

Regards

Stephan
