How to code the program to change system's registry?
eg. register DLL files...

 

[jkb17]

If you want to register your own dll then you will want to execute the regsvr32 function.

Go to your start button and click the Run... command. Assuming the name of your dll is myDLL.dll and you stored it in the windows system directory then the command would be as follows:

regsvr32 "C:\Windows\system\mydll.dll"

to unregister a DLL then add the /u parameter

for example,

regsvr32 /u "C:\Windows\system\mydll.dll"

hope this helps.

For the registry api calls, see FAQ 10(f).

But if all you want to do is register DLLs, do like Jim says and call regsvr32. But, IMO, your setup program ought to be doing this. Take a look at the Wise installer, it's pretty good.
