hi,
I have written a dll in VC++ using ATL which i want people to download from the net. I used InstallShield to create a setup program and made changes to the code to simulate the wokring of RegSvr32. Although my setup program makes an entry in the windows registry my my toolbar(dll) does not show up when i launch Intenet explorer. When i run RegSvr32 it works fine. What am i doing wrong. I really appreciate  help. Is there functionality to RegSvr32 other then creating an entry in windows.Thanks.

Installshield builds the class, typelib and registry tables by examining  changes to the registry.  However. it does not look everywhere it should.  One particular area I have noticed that is omiited are shell namespace entries.

You can overcome this problem by entering the omitted entries directly into the registry table.
