I have not managed to do much testing in Vista as yet because I only have
RC2 and too many crashes.
As far as I can tell it depends upon what privileges the calling program is
running under plus those of the files being accessed - I think there will be
more problems show up.
From memory it asked before running on first load or just refused access to
the files.

Now that the instructions for installing BDS 4.0 in Vista are available I
may try re-installing it again (don't want to bye it until some more bugs
are removed and some drivers are available) to do more tests (have more
memory now so that may help with Vista as it does for BDS).
To test I must work out how to run a program at administrator level without
manually overriding it's privileges and, of course, how to debug that.

I guess if you don't sign it, Vista will always ask a user if it's ok to run
the program? Yuck!

Does it only ask when the DLL is first loaded?

It is now made with BDS 4.0 and uses more modern, hopefully safer and more
secure, libraries.
Signing it only adds about 4K but helps to keep Vista happy.
