SYMPTOMS
Non-Administrative users cannot log on to a computer after you install a program using the Elevated Rights Deployment Tool (RunOnce.exe). You may experience this problem when you try to install any one of the following programs:
 * Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.6 or later. MDAC requires administrative credentials and updates after your computer restarts.
 * Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.
 * Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1.
 * Any other program that requires administrative rights to complete installation after the computer is restarted.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because these programs write entries to the  subkey in the registry of the client computer. The Elevated Rights Deployment Tool monitors the  registry subkey but does not monitor the   subkey.



MORE INFORMATION
When you use the Elevated Rights Deployment Tool to run these programs, you may receive output that is similar to the following:

SUCCESS: Executed

/q:a /c:&quot; /q /n

SUCCESS: No new registry entries were found in RunOnce

The documentation for the Elevated Rights Deployment Tool incorrectly states that this tool is ideal to run software such as Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 6.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 create a  subkey that the Elevated Rights Deployment Tool cannot read. Non-Administrative users cannot log on to the computer until after an administrator logs on to the computer. The program installation continues, with administrator credentials, and removes the data from the RunOnceEX registry subkey.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
