I have a a program which includes a managed c++ out of process com server. Right now during the install it's registered with the /RegServer flag. This all works fine in its current implementation.

What I would like to do is register this server in the user space and avoid the need for admin rights.

I have tried to search stackoverflow and google but I have only found one article on codeproject that created a third party utility to do this.

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/3505/RegSvrEx-An-Enchanced-COM-Server-Registration-Util

As best I can tell there isn't a way to register a com server in the user space instead of root space normally. Is this possible and can anyone point me in the general direction?

    Awesome thank you! I'll check it out though it might take me a bit to confirm if this works or not. I searched and I assumed I wasn't the only person to want to try this but I couldn't figure out what to search for. – Jarrett Robertson Mar 19 '15 at 10:52
