This action allows to register in-process COM servers that are packaged as dynamic link libraries (with .dll or .ocx file name extension). All needed functionality to register COM Servers is built into installer package. You don't need to ship additional utilities (such as Regsvr32.exe) with your setups.

AWinstall can determine COM in-process servers and automatically create COM Registration action (See Add Files/Folders topic for more information).

To add COM Registration action manually, right-click on task where you want to create action and select "Add In-Proc COM Registration" menu item. The "Select file from project" dialog will appear.

If the COM server is placed in other installer task, uncheck the "From current task only " option. If it does not belong to AWinstall project (for example, if it is placed into known directory by third-party application), enter the path to this file. You can use installer variables in file path.

infoTip: if you want to add Out-of-process (EXE) COM servers registration, you should add Run Action with special parameter (usually, "/regserver"). Refer to your COM EXE server's documentation to obtain additional information.
