This includes mapping of temporary dlls which requires 'exec' permissions. --- quote --- Intermediate/temporary installation files are not final installation targets - they can be located anywhere during installation. The main dlls end up in your 'c:\\windows\\system32' folder, where they belong. Regards -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
