Registering a DLL in a MSI
I created a MSI that copies 8 dll to the MS Office Directory. These dll are for a internally devolped application. So far so good.
2 of the dll need need to be registered. I know I have to use a CUSTOM ACTION but haven't a clue how to do this, I really could use a hand, I just dont understand how to do custom actions. These CA should execute right after the files are installed.
the commands I need to execute are
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regasm.exe /codebase xxxx.dll
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regasm.exe /codebase xxxx.dll
I am using Installshield 2009 and ORCA. Could someone get me started of where I am supposed to begin?

Have you tried capturing the registry entries that get created when registering them and just importing that into your package?
You have create Custom Action
type: 3170
source: SystemFolder
target: cmd /c "%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regasm.exe /codebase xxxx.dll /silent"
