How are .exe files registered?

[ambalboa]

I am compiling a file using 'Make VB6' action step, which would create an .exe file. I would then need to register it, but how? Currently, I am registering .dll files with a 'Run Program' action step with the following line:

%DOSCMD% regsvr32 /s "%WINSYSDIR%\filename.dll"

I don't think I repeat this for an .exe file. I'm supposed to use the /regserver and /unregserver options, but how would I do that with a 'Run Program' step, or would I use another?

P.S.: I pressed the enter key accidentally, which posted my message without me finishing. Sorry.

If it's an out-of-process COM server, use the COM Register (http://www.visualbuild.com/Manual/comregister.htm) action.

Thank you. I think I got it working with the 'COM Register' action step. I just placed the filename in the appropriate textbox, checked the 'Unregister the component, assembly, type library, or action' to use the /unregserver flag (to unregister), and then unchecked it for /regserver (to register). Nothing else needed, it seems.

You can also use the COM Register action for COM DLLs and OCXs. See the VStudio.bld sample. And when calling regsvr32, you don't have to prefix with %DOSCMD%.
