Hi Henry,

To change the launch permission in DCOM, we need to call some security
APIs. In WIndows platform SDK, there is a sample name "DCOMPERM" which
demonstrate how to implement this. You may take a look.

Anyway, to launch a word application, you may need more permssions, for
example permission to read related registry entries and temp files. I
suggest you consider add the ASP.NET account to a local group for example
administrators, or just use System account for the ASP.NET application.
