Setup projects: do dlls get registered during installation???

Samir Azmat via .NET 247

Hi!

I just wanted to ask about the dlls that we add to theapplication folder using the setup projects, are they registeredon installation and if yes why. The reason that i ask this isthat my project required mfc70.dll for it to work, i addedmfc70.dll in the application folder and now when i install theapplication using the installer, there is an error saying:

"Module C:\......\mfc70.dll failed to register HRESULT-2147024769 Contact your support personnel" and it gives me 3options, "Exit installation", "try again" or "continue."

Please help me out here.

Thanks.

Make sure that the "Register" property of the mfc70.dll is set to
"vsdrfDoNotRegister". A better way for installing the MFC dlls is to
include the MFC merge module in your setup project. You'll find it under
Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules

Cheers,
