Registering a file fails w/ SUF but not with regsvr32

[jassing]

I have a dll that does not support "self registration"... so I install it; and then in "after install" I use the action/file/register file... no go.. but if I use regsvr32 to register it; it registers fine... any ideas?

The "Register File" action still requires the file to support "self registration" and is the same as the option on the File Properties dialog. So if it says that it doesn't support it when you scan it for DLLRegisterServer support, then you won't be able to use the action to register it either.

Perhaps a little more information about the DLL itself. Who makes it, what is it doing etc.

You can always call Regsvr32.exe and pass it the DLL file to register it on the user's sytem from your install.
