Software Deployment

Hi Meas:

In that case you could probably write a vbscript that shall do the task and then include it within your package, A sample VBScript is enclosed here in:

On Error Resume Next
'Setting tool and paths
strComputer = "."
Set ObjRegistry = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel = impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
strRegsvr = "regsvr32.exe"
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run(strRegsvr& " C:\vmmreg32.dll")'the name of the dll can be changed here. Please keep a space between the quote and the path of the dll.

I hope this would definitely help.

Personally I'd snapshot the manual registration and add the resulting reg info to your package - that way you get a clean uninstall. Have a look at WiseComCapture to make this even easier...

Selfreg is generally regarded as bad practice [X(]

Cheers,
Rob.

Hi Meas:

You could run write a Wise Script that shall register the dll, just call the Execute Program in Wise Script Editor and then register the same and then call this compile wise script in your MSI.
In case you require more help do let me know.

Should have mentioned that I'm not using Wise. Am just using Wininstall LE 2k and Orca.

I'll try the suggested capture of registration, but haven't always had success with this in the past.

Yeah that would do it if you want to use a script but note that if the path to the DLL has spaces (e.g. C:\Program Files\Etc\Etc) then the last line should read:

WshShell.Run(strRegsvr& """ C:\Program Files\Etc\Etc\vmmreg32.dll""")

You need to quote your quotes [:D]


Cheers,
Rob.

Hi Rob:

Forgot to write the same[:'(] thanks for reminding[:)]

No problem Bhupesh - you did all the hard work [;)]

Cheers,
Rob.

Ahh, so it needs triple quotes? I tried adding another set of quotes when it was trying to locate C:\Program but that threw up another error. I'll try with the three quotes.

Thanks all for your help. I'll give it another go.

Hi Rob:

That was'nt[;)] hard at all,lol[;)] anyways thanks for the votes (I hope that was from your side?)
