Hi . 

 

I am trying to register a dll file but its failing. Below are the sequence of steps i am doing. 

 

1) Copying the target folders to the system. 

2 ) Add the target folder to the path variable. The dll which i want to register depends on the other dll's present in the target folder hence i am adding this path to the system path variable. 

3) Register the dll : The installation is not able to complete , i am not sure what is the problem if i manually set the path variable and register the dll then it works perfectly. Kindly suggest what might be wrong.

The installer will not see the updated PATH.

Extract the COM information and store it in your MSI instead.

Hi Stefan , 

 

Thanks for your response , but can you please elaborate what exactly needs to be done. I enabled the flag "Extract DOM data for the key file" but still it doesn't seem to work.

is the DLL a COM dll or a .NET dll? if it is .NET dll you don't need to extract COM Data.

if it is a COM dll, try to use 'Component Wizard' to include it, it will extract the com types information before packaging.

Hi, 

 

Thanks for your time and suggestions, i was able to solve it by creating custom vbscript action and registration of the dll was successfull.
