Problems with HKCR/TypeLib and Interface... inheritance?

Ladies, Gentlemen..

Can anyone explain why entries created in HKCR/TypeLib would have blank
permissions (Administrator has NO control, and neither does Everyone),
even if the TypeLib entry shows the correct permissions?

This is causing component registration to fail!

This is on a Win2K production server..

We have been having this problem for some time now and have yet to find
a resolve.

Thanks!!!!!

It sounds like ACEs are not propogating from the "root" (TypeLib for
instance). Have you double-checked to ensure "Apply onto: This key
and subkeys" is really set?

Not certain of defaults there but here on W2K Pro wksta (for Typelib)
SYSTEM:FULL
Adminstrators <local macchine>:FULL
RESTRICTED:READ
FWIW
 
Mark,

Thanks for the reply!

Well, the problem seems to be pretty complex. My current permissions
for HKCR/TypeLib are:

Admins: Full (This key and subkeys)
Everyone: Read (This key and subkeys)
System: Full (This key and subkeys)

So, to answer your question, yes, they are set to propogate to subkeys..

We have been on the phone with MS this morning and yesterday trying to
find the solution. So far,... well, I'm on hold if thats any indication. :-]

A newly created subkey has these permissions:

Admins: [ nothing checked ]
Everyone: [ nothing checked ]

... strange.
This is occurring on two machines, so it seems to be a pretty
significant problem with something.

Thanks for the helP!

Well you were out ahead of me anyway. This is both curious and a bit
disturbing. Please post a follow-up with the solution when found.
And good luck.

And although I'd never noticed it before, the ACL displayed is
different in
HKCR\TypeLib\
than
HLKM\Software\Classes\TypeLib\
What that is about I do not know...
