Registration off DLL and Services

[mierlp]

hi,

I would like to do a AfterInstall where a .dll has to be registrated using
regsvr32 followed by the \AppFolder\this.dll

Also i have a .exe files which has to be installed as a services, this can
be done by a batch file, but that's not the most elegant way.
This batch file contains the following code :

mmq /i+
pause

How can i create a after install action for registration of the .dll and
install and run the services

Regards Peter

you can use File.Run instead of a batch file, like

myFile = "\"" .. SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%") .. "\\this.dll\"" ;
File.Run("regsvr32 /s " .. myFile, "", "", SW_MINIMIZE, false);

The same for the other case, only not sure what's PAUSE for.

If you are deploying this file, wouldn't it be much easier if you just use the option "Register COM interfaces"? (See File Properties > Advanced > OLE/ActiveX.)
