setup project, registering dlls

Hi,

I have an application that depends, for successful
deployment, on a COM dll that needs to be registered on
the user's machine. How do I include te registration of
this dll in my setup project? I can't find anything in the
docs about this, oddly...

Thanks, malcolm

Malcolm,

You need to change the Register property of your com dll in the File System Editor. Here are the two help topics on MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...properties.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...erproperty.asp

Hope this helps,
Elizabeth

What I would like to achieve is an equivalent of manually registering it with "gacutil.exe" and then with "regasm.exe".

I've written an Add-in for MS Outlook and in Visual Studio .NET 2003, I also created a setup project to install the add-in. It all works well. When the user double-clicks on the .msi file to launch the setup, there's this choice of having the application installed "Just for me" or for "Everyone" using that computer. I noticed that even when the user selects "Everyone", the setup script writes the entries for registering the Add-in with...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
