Registering DLL via deployment project

I have an app that utilizes a DLL provided by a 3rd party. This DLL requires
registration via "regsvr32" before adding it successfully as a reference in
Visual Studio during development.

This DLL has been added to the deployment project such that it is placed in
the application directory up building the solution and subsequently
installing the app.

What is the appropriate/recommended method of having this DLL "register
itself" upon installation of the app on a target machine?

Its "register" property was set to "vsdrfCOM". This was clearly NOT the
correct option, or I have overlooked other details.

What is the correct approach.

BTW, afer installing the app and MANUALLY registering the DLL (regsvr32
....), all works great. What am I missing?

Thank you for your time....

HI, all. Sorry for posting to so many groups, but I really don't know in which group this question fits best. Anyways, here goes... I have a bunch of DTS packages that my client application runs.

Hi all - I have a problem I've been trying to solve for several days. I'm trying to get the 'hands free' deployment working on a .NET web project that involves both a front end web site (with web pages and code-behind) and a middleware class library that is compiled into a DLL. All the documentation that I've read seem to indicate that it's still possible to use an XCOPY style of deployment to a server that I'll likely only have...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
