I am building an install script for software that includes an MMC snap-in. The snap-in is built into a DLL which I entered and set up as "auto-register". This does not properly register the snap-in with the MMC subsystem.
Is this a feature that is not included in "Advanced Installer"? Do I need to build a custom action to register the snap-in? Does anyone have a template for such a script?
Thanks,
-Ted

Hi Ted,
Advanced Installer doesn't automatically register snap-ins. Registering the DLL is not sufficient. To register the snap-in you have to create certain registry entries.
You can include in the package the keys and values that are necessary. Also you can use custom actions to create some.
