Regerstring DLL's and OCX's

[Mark Ackman]

I am creating a simple install that has several DLL's and OCX's. How do I regerster these DLL's. I want it to be like when I type Regsvr32 DLLName at a command prompt.

I have tried adding the restry entry but it doesn't seem to work

Hi Mark,

In order to mark files for self-register you need to:

a) use the latest (0.3) version of Advanced Installer
b) in the Files and Folders panel, go to the Edit File Properties dialog box (by double clicking on a the file or by using the Properties toolbar button)
c) check the Auto Register File checkbox.

Regards,
Cata

Advanced Installer is not registering my ActiveX DLLs in Windows 98 SE.
I am able to register them manualy using the "regtlib" command.
There is no "regsvr32" command in Windows 98 SE that I can see. Can
anybody help me please?

I thought regsvr32 should come installed in in Windows 9x...

Alternatively, you could create a custom action that calls the registration functions of the DLL directly.

OK I found it in C:\Windows\System. That path does not seem to be in
the command console, so when I type regsvr32, it acts like it does not
exist. After upgrading Advanced Installer (like it has been telling me
to do for the last week), registration works perfect in Windows 98 SE.
I had just did a fresh install of Windows 98 SE with all the MS updates to
see if my app would install and run. It does now. Great!
