Register a dll with code 2

[SerialCoder]

I'm a beginer here....

I wrote a program that uses the FSO to copy some files from a network server into the client machine that running the exe. after the filecopy is complete, I need to register a few of the dll's that were copied. I used to do this with a bat file but need to use VB now for more control.

I cant figure out how (with code) to issue the regsrv32 command on the dll's

I appreciate any help.

Regards,
Dave

Try this
'=========================================================
retVal = Shell("C:\Windows\System\regsvr32 " & FileName, vbNormalNoFocus)
'=========================================================

You will also have to do some coding to find out the winsys path, if u dont want it hardcoded. There are many other ways, including some pretty

or this

Declare Function DllRegisterServer Lib "ComCtl32.OCX" () As Long


Declare Function DllUnregisterServer Lib "ComCtl32.OCX" () As Long
Const ERROR_SUCCESS = &H0

If DllRegisterServer = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
MsgBox "Registration Successful"
Else
MsgBox "Registration Unsuccessful"
End If

' To unregister your OCX use this function:

If DllUnregisterServer = ERROR_SUCCESS Then
MsgBox "UnRegistration Successful"
Else
MsgBox "UnRegistration Unsuccessful"
End If
