regsvr32

My InnoSetup Script needs to install the VC redistributables (vcredist_x86.exe) but also registers an OCX relying on the redist package. I wasn't able to have the package installed prior to the regsrv32 call, so on a virgin system it always results in a "RegSrv32 failed with exit code 0x1" error (which I could ignore and run the setup again to correctly register the OCX). How can I make sure the redist package is installed before registering? ; Script generated by the Inno Setup Script Wizard. ; SEE THE DOCUMENTATION FOR DETAILS ON CREATING INNO SETUP SCRIPT FILES!

I want to build a DLL Class Library use COM Interop, with C#, target ANY CPU, and register it as 32-bit and 64-bit interfaces. I want to be able to, at runtime, display what interface was used - if I am using the 32-bit version, or 64-bit version. Any ideas? Daniel Earwicker In order for a process to load a 32-bit DLL, the process has to be 32-bit. And same for 64-bit. So to find out what has been loaded, assuming it has already worked, you just need to find out the bit-ness of the CLR: if (System.IntPtr.Size == 8) { // 64-bit } else { // 32-bit } PS. for discussion of whether you need to

I've got a registered ActiveX component which I'm referencing in a C# project. However, I'd like to know the original path to the actual component being run. This is not the execution path per se. Is there something saner than searching the registry by hand? The component is registered with a simple /regserver command, if that's relevant. Andrey Search under the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID with the name of your EXE file. It should be used as value of "LocalServer32". Here's a function that fetches the value out of the Registry. Extra validation required. using Microsoft.Win32; //... static string

I have a DLL which cause to an error when I run the application. The error says that the service is not registered. So I run command regsvr32 with the name of the DLL. But it gives me an error, now the error is: The module 'mydll.dll' was loaded but the entry-point 'DllRegisterServer' was not found. Make sure that 'mydll.dll' is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again I worked on Windows 7 64-bit. On Windows XP it works fine!. Does someone know what it can be? Thanks! The error indicates that the DLL is either not a COM DLL or it's corrupt. If it's not a COM DLL and not being used as a COM

Let's say I'm developing an application that installs COM component and installer registers them. This works great. Now the software is required to run from a memory stick. How can I register my libraries runtime and make sure, that the registry is cleaned up after running the application? Are you always running on XP or later? Don't bother. Use "registration free COM". Essentially what you do is create a manifest file for the COM component so the Windows loader know what its registration is without having to put that in the registry. A walkthrough of what to do is in this article on MSDN:
