Register_File ( LiveXP / NativeEx Projects Only )

Registers a COM or ActiveX object.

Syntax

Register_File,FileName,RegType

Parameters

1	FileName	File to register
2	RegType	Type of registration to perform
		Install - Register the file using the DllInstall entry point ( /i on regsvr32 )
		Register - Register the file using the DllRegisterServer entry point

Remarks

This uses one of two methods to perform the registration:

• If %dllregmethod% project variable exists and is equal to Build-Time it will use the RegRedirect program to perform the registration. This program as its name suggests captures the registry updates and redirects them to the current software registry hive loaded by winbuilder.
• If %dllregmethod% project variable exists and is any other value or if the %dllregmethod% project variable does not exist it will write an entry in the software registry hive to perform a regsvr32 on the file at boot time. It will use an entry in Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\550 to perform this registration.

Tips

1. If the file is to be registered at build then the file name should include path information to locate the file in the source or in the script directories.
2. If the file is to be registered at boot time then the file name should include run time path information or it should be locatable via the current path environment variable.

Example

Register_File,%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,Install
