Not running it as someone with permissions to register dlls (not adminstrator?)

Yes, indeed. We have an issue with that... All the .asn, .ini, forms, signatures are in a fileserver, wich are shared between developers. When I run as an administrator, the local administrator profile cannot access the shared folder, resulting that I can't run the idf at all.

Use \\\\servername\\folder and not a mapped network drive to solve you issue
