Problem with xobglu*.dll (running as limited user)

When loading you may find Windows reports an error with xobglu16.dll and/or xobglu32.dll if the program is run as a limited user. Using Procmon it was discovered the application tries to create xobglu16.dll and xobglu32.dll in the Windows directory - an area limited users cannot write to.

Tested on

This problem was noticed on:

  • Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3

This problem should not occur on UAC enabled systems (Windows Vista and Windows 7) as UAC virtualisation should intercept the problem and provide a compatibility layer (untested).

Fix

  1. As an administrator, browse to the Windows directory (typically c:\windows).
  2. Create 2 text (notepad) documents and name them as below
  3. Edit the permissions on the files to allow Authenticated Users full control.
  4. Login is a limited user and attempt to run the program.
Note
In my tests, simply running the application as an administrator did not resolve the problem for the limited user
