I have 2 VB dlls that need to be registered automatically from one CAB file, they must both make additional registry edits when registered.

Could I use a C++ dll (in the same cab file) and have the required registry edits in its dllregisterserver call to create the keys for the 2 VB dlls that can't access dllregisterserver? once its done would it be possible to then remove the C++ dll without altering the registry entries it made?

I'm not a C++ programmer so I need to know if this is going to be worth the effort before I start.

Thanks
 
Horrid -

What install tool are you using? Most of them allow you to make your own registry entries, so you wouldn't need a 3rd program/DLL to do it for you.

And... should you use another EXE/DLL to write these entries, if you use the "uninstall" routine to remove it, the registry entries are likely to be uninstalled too.
