Silent REGSVR32 1

[VB400]

I need to replace a DLL on a remote user's NT Workstation machine. I would like to call a program to automatically:

1. Unregister the existing DLL
2. Copy the new DLL from a shared drive to the local drive
3. Register the new DLL

The following two lines will take care of 1 and 3
x = Shell("REGSVR32 /U ""C:\Test.DLL""&quot
x = Shell("REGSVR32 ""C:\Test.DLL""&quot

However, two messages are displayed indicating that the DLL has been unregistered and the other saying that it has been registered (as expected).

Is there a way to supress these messages (as in a silent install)?

add /s to the command line
x = Shell("REGSVR32 /U /s ""C:\Test.DLL""&quot
you can run regsvr32 from a dos prompt with the /? switch to see a list of available command line switches.
