I see there are ways to allow SelfRegister, but what if I want to control how and where the file is registered? For example, I want to copy FileMonitor.dll to...
Dennis, thanks for such a quick reply. I have application "App" - it is a VB executable that needs to refer to some dll's and ocx's that need to be used, but I...
Hi Bryan, Are you talking about your own custom dll's and ocx's or those common to VB/Windows/3rdParty controls? Self registering is usually frowned upon...
Hi, ... Have a look at: C:\Program Files\MAKEMSI\ More Work (or help) Required\ Capture of Self Registration Information That will do most of the work for you....
Hi, ... I have created a seperate post on some code I developed to automatically extract the info, but I think relatively speaking it might be less dangerous...
Hi, ... All MAKEMSI source files are text and so could be created by any program which would then initiate the build process. There is no "library" version. ...
Good food for thought. It sounds by the statement: "Instead of calling self-registration functions to register and unregister COM server information, you...
Hi, I'm testing out Dennis's SelfRegImport code that he pointed to in the other fork of this thread. I have one update to his "work in progress" code that...
Hi Dennis, I've attached a small update to selfreg_.mmh that removes the keys that I've run into which result in ICE33 warnings. You may have a better way to...
Hey guys. I can't seem to get the MsiGetProperty call to get my properties. Is this supported by MakeMsi in a DllCa? I'm writing it in Visual c++. If you tell...
Hi, ... I think you'll find adding: Type="Immediate" will do the trick. I am thinking about adding DLL support along the lines of the existing VbsCa/VbSCaSetup...
You're right, Type="Immediate" did fix the problem. I actually found the solution on Google about 2 minutes after my posting (although I had been looking for...
Hi, ... Always the way... ... I mean that the "guts" of the C/C++ code will be created by you (as you did for VBSCRIPT) and the framework will take care of...
Hi, ... In future please also include a zipped up copy as an attachment, I had to clean up your code (wrapping etc) and also what I looked at in the email and...
Hi, I've attached an update to SelfRegImport which will change to the target file's location before executing the SelfRegCapture.exe program. I may go back and...
Hi, You might want to take the time to set-up validation as Dennis documented in the help files. Once you do, you'll get output like the following when you...
Hi, ... I have fixed up a few features that introduced and added your other changes from a few days ago. Added better error handling and other tweeks. You...
Hi, I've created the first cut of the code which is pretty basic but workable and hopefully very easy to use, this is my test code (I will probably release a...
Hi Dennis, ... Sure thing, I assumed it was something simple and didn't expect anybody needed to actually try it. ... Thanks : ). ... Here's the problem - I'm...
Hi, ... The easiest thing for me is generally to try it for myself if I can as I don't often get enough information or I don't understand it on the first read....
Hi, I've just started with MakeMSI and was able to make some simple packages that copy some files and create the shortcuts for the programs. Now I'm trying to...
Hi, ... I recommend you don't ignore it particularly when you have a problem of some type, you could have searched for the the directory path you wanted and...
