using Regsvr32.exe inside a Installshield project

[Emily Chang]

I try to use Regsvr32.exe /s to register some DLLs for our products.
I use the LaunchApp to call up the Regsvr32.exe and use '/s' to run the
Regsvr32.exe program silently...
However, I don't know why it is not registering the DLLs correctly in the
install program, if I take out the '/s' parameter, then the DLLs are
registered correctly.

I am using WinNT 4.0, service pack 5, IE 5 and IS Prof. 5.53.

Anyone has similar experience or solutions, please help me... Thanks!

I would be willing to bet that the problem is that the lone argument to
LaunchApp (or LaunchAppAndWait) needs to be specifically Regsvr32.exe, and
then the second parameter needs to be "/s " + the file to be registered, or
something like that. The problem is probably that you're putting the /s as
part of the first argument, and the LaunchApp functions want only a file
name.

e.g.

LaunchApp("regsvr32.exe", "/s " + szFile);

instead of

LaunchApp("regsvr32.exe /s", szFile);

Thanks for your help. The install program seems working fine now after I
made the changes according to your suggestion.
Thank You!
