64-bit registatation dll

Wed Jan 31, 2024 4:22 pm

I have a COM DLL in my project that I enabled self-registration. However, it doesn't seem to register one installed. I can manually register it with regsvr32. The DLL is 64-bit. What do I need to change to get it to work? I attached the AIP file.

Hello Tom,

Unfortunately, I can not say for sure why this is happening.

If possible, could you please create a sample project that reproduces this and forward that to me together with the DLL file by email at support at advancedinstaller dot com (you can upload the ZIP on dropbox, for instance, and send me the download link)?

Best regards,

Thank you for thre reply. I tried what you wanted and it had no issue. So, I enabled verbose logging and was able to see the problem. There are two DLLs in the project that register the same COM classes, the second is a more secure version, but the version I have doesn't work (working with the vendor on that). I had told the installer to register both and the second was being registered after the first, but the app would not work with it.
