Adding DLL to registry

Dec 22, 2008 11:01 AM|LINK
I have a setup project and there is a dll needed to be added into the registry

When I write the following code:
```
//********* Registration to dll


            FileStream fs_cmd = new FileStream(Application.StartupPath + "\\Register.vbs", FileMode.Create);
            StreamWriter sw_cmd = new StreamWriter(fs_cmd);
            sw_cmd.WriteLine("Set WshShell = CreateObject(\"WScript.Shell\") ");
            sw_cmd.WriteLine("WshShell.Run chr(34) & " + "\"" + Application.StartupPath + "\\Register.bat\"" + "& Chr(34), 0");
            sw_cmd.WriteLine("Set WshShell = Nothing");
            sw_cmd.Close();
            fs_cmd.Close();
            File.WriteAllText(Application.StartupPath + "\\Register.bat", "regsvr32.exe " + Application.StartupPath + "\\TextExtractor.dll");
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start (Application.StartupPath+"\\Register.vbs");
            

//************************************
```
the dll added to registry (under hkey_classes_root --> scriptletfile --> Shell --> Register --> Command ) but ther is messagebox appears says that:

DllRegisterServer in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\FileSearch_ABS\bin\TextExtractor.dll succeeded
its name: REGSVR32

type: REG_SZ

data: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\REGSVR32.EXE" /i:"%1" "C:\WINDOWS\system32\scrobj.dll"

I tried another way from the setup project
View --> Editors --> Adding Keys in HKEY_CLASSSES_ROOT
scriptletfile scriptletfile
-->Shell
-->Register
-->Command
-->Add String Value (its name: REGSVR32, Value: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\REGSVR32.EXE" /i:"%1" "C:\WINDOWS\system32\scrobj.dll")

But when I build and Install the setup.exe nothing added to registry

Do anyone have an Idea to add dll into registry without appearing of MessageBox?
Thank You in advance

Add /s to the RegSvr32 command, that will put it in silent mode.

Type RegSvr32 /? to get a list of all the flags.

Where is this command written?

What is RegSvr32? What is silent mode?

Where to type (RegSvr32 /?) ?

What is RegSvr32?

It's in the code in your original post:

Here:
File.WriteAllText(Application.StartupPath + "\\Register.bat", "regsvr32.exe " + Application

And Here:

(its name: REGSVR32, Value: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\REGSVR32.EXE" /i:"%1" "C:\WINDOWS\system32\scrobj.dll")

A command window (also called a Dos prompt) or from the Start->Run window.

I don't understand

what to write exactly and where ?
```
File.WriteAllText(Application.StartupPath + "\\ /s Register.bat", "/s regsvr32.exe " + Application.StartupPath + \\TextExtractor.dll);
```
is this true?
Note:

the file Register.bat contains the following code:
```
regsvr32.exe dll_path
```

Ok, there is actually a program that could help you deal with this. The name of that software is RegCure. It typically repairs corrupt dll file associations in the windows registry automatically. But if you prefer the manual way, they also have step by step instruction on how to work on with registry dll.
