Traditional COM Registration
InstallShield 2016
Project • This information applies to the following project types:
InstallShield supports multiple methods for registering a COM server on a target machine. The following methods are the ones used traditionally:
|
•
|
The COM information can be extracted from the file at build time (or design time) and written to the COM-related tables of your .msi database. |
|
•
|
The COM server’s self-registration function can be called at installation time. |
The first method listed—extracting the COM information and writing it to the .msi database—is preferred over the self-registration method. The first method writes the COM class information to the Class, ProgID, and Registry tables of the .msi database.
