RegSvr32

  Try following:

  string strPath;

  //initialize strPath to the path of the file you want to register

  System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("regsvr32 /s " + strPath);

  Ok, what I thought was working, isn't. After trapping the error, I get a "File not Found" error. But this is impossible because the file exists in the exact spot it's looking for it.

  Has anyone else had this issue

  Here's the error:
  
  System.Exception: The following DLL did not register.
  c:\adacel\maxsim whiteboard\35\WBCustomObjects.dll

  Yes, it works from the command line or the run line..

  After much research on the internet (and thanks to google) I found the solution:
  
  

  //Create the paths for the controls and DLLs.
  sPath[0] = sRootPath + sVersionParam + @"\WBCustomObjects.dll";
  sPath[1] = sRootPath + sVersionParam + @"\WBGred.dll";
  sPath[2] = sRootPath + sVersionParam + @"\WBInterfaces.dll";
  sPath[3] = sRootPath + sVersionParam + @"\WBGredOcx.ocx";

  Process p = new Process();
  p.StartInfo.FileName = @"regsvr32.exe";
  p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

  //Register the controls and DLLs.

  try
  {
       for (i = 0; i < sPath.Length; i++)
          {
               p.StartInfo.Arguments = " /s" + "\"" + sPath + "\"";
               p.Start();
               p.Close();
          }
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
               throw new Exception("The following DLL did not register.\n" + sPath + "\n Reason:\n" + ex, ex.InnerException);
  }

  Where sRootPath = @"c:\windows apps\maxsim whiteboard\"
  AND sVersionParams = @"35"

  That works my friends!

  Does regsvr32 call for registering the same dll work from outside I mean from Windows/Run or command prompt etc.
