Hi,

We have a VS .NET application that we're delivering via a VS2005 Installer project.

My main problem is - how best to deploy the legacy VB6 DLL's (that can't be changed) that the app is using.

I have added them to the deployment project & they are happily copied to the target folder on the user's machine, I am doing a "Commit" custom action at the end of the install to do some database work and think this is the ideal place to register these old DLL's.

Questions...

What needs to be done to register them ?

How do I shell out from the installer to get them registered ?..

Any help much appreciated - Paul.

If you set the Register property of the file to one of the registration options (like vsdrfCOM) then the setup project will do the registration for you.
