Exele enhances OPCcalc and EDICTvb.Net for Vista

April 30, 2007 - With the release of version 3.3.0, OPCcalc and EDICTvb.Net support Standard Users and UAC in Windows Vista. The products correctly separate the program executables from the user-writeable data, allowing security control within the security structure of Vista. OPCcalc and EDICTvb.Net will properly inform the operating system if applications require administrative permission so that UAC settings (permission elevation) can take effect. Many existing software products do not run properly on Windows Vista. Although Vista has added support for existing applications through features like file and registry virtualization, these "fixes" are temporary and applications should be written to explicitly support the changes in Vista.Vista has "locked down" many of the directories and registry locations that were previously writeable by most users (Windows, Program Files, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). Applications that require machine-wide settings and multi-user access should centralize these settings and files without opening up the permissions on restricted areas. User Account Control (UAC) in Vista can elevate the permissions of standard users if the application correctly informs Vista that administrative permissions are required. For EDICTvb.Net, version 3.3.0 adds two new functions for retrieving arrays of tag values (compressed and samples values) directly into your equation logic (these functions are already available in OPCcalc)Version 3.3 Features include
