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

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...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
