Auto register order of DLL's

[nickp]

Hi there,

I'm currently "auto registering" 1 ActiveX DLL in an Advanced Installer project. I am going to need to register serveral more DLL's in the same way, but unfortunately these need to be registered in a specific order.

How would I specify the order of registration for these files?

I am currently setting them to "auto register" by right clicking on the files in the "Files and Folders" section and selecting "Properties", then checking "Auto register file...".

The only work around I can currently think of is to make a completely new application that registers them in the correct order and launching it as a custom action on install/uninstall.

Thanks for your time and many thanks in advance.

Hi,

The solution would be to use a deferred custom action that will register these files in the desired order instead of selecting the autoregister option.

We added the sequenced file registration to our TO DO list.

Best regards,
Mihai
