How to register a vb.net dll on a seperat machine

[Bryan V.]

OK, no one seems to be able to help me with this, so I guess this is my last
try. I have made a vb.net dll on one machine, I need to use it on another
machine for vb6. I was told to use regasm.exe, but how do I use it on
another machine. First off, when I do use regasm.exe, it opens for one
seconds and then closes - am I using it wrong because it's not working for
me? Then when I try to copy the exe to the vb6 computer, I get an error when
running the regasm.exe.

Can someone please thoroughly explain how to register the vb.net dll onto
another machine for use with vb6?

Thank You!
Bryan

Open the console ("Start" -> "Run" -> "cmd"), then go to the directory
containing "REGASM.EXE" (if it's not in the 'PATH' environment
variable), type "REGASM" and press return. A list of available options
will be scrolled to the console. Then you can call it by specifying the
right options.

Thank You! You guys answered my question. But now I have one more. Do I
need to have .net installed on a machine with a vb.net dll for a program? If
I use a .net dll, in a program for distribution, won't the necessary files
come too?

Thanks,
Bryan

And, you need to have .NET installed on that machine for regasm to be there and also for your dll to run.
