Checking registry

[poppy]

I have a windows application distributed across an intranet using ClickOnce
deployment. The problem I have is that my project makes a reference to a COM
object on the client machine.

Is there any way I can set this up so that my application can check to see
if the COM compnent is registered on the client machine and if not, copy it
to the client machine and register it automatically ?

Thanks In Advance

you can do this by adding the component as a custom prerequisite to your
installer.
when your app is installed, setup will check the prerequisites and only
install them if they are not already installed.

for detailed instruxctions check MSDN under
Dev tools and languages->visual studio -> integrated evelopment environment
-> deploying applications -> adding custom prerequisites.

kind regards,
Bruno.
