HookAPI on Windows XP SP2 with 'Power Users'

I tried to run your example HookProcessTermination on XP with SP2. It works fine when I logged with Administrator rights. With just 'Power Users' rights, when I tried to run InjectService, it complains about not having enough rights.

Is there a way to get around this problem and make it work even for 'Power Users'?

Which version of madCodeHook/madCollection are you using? I think there was a problem like this with an earlier version, but the current version 2.1.3.0 should not have this problem.

I believe I'm running version 2.1.3 (or 2.1c). The date on madCHook.dll is August 17, 2004 3.41PM.

I looked at your version history and noticed that you've fixed IPC sending from under privileged account. The problem I'm having is installing the service (double clicking on InjectService.exe) with user having only 'Power Users' rights. That may be different than the IPC problem.

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood you.

No, you do need admin access rights to install services. No way around it.
