Cannot register file type

[artistscope]

I am trying to register LAVSplitter.ax but SUF does not allow registering that file type. However regsvr32 LAVSplitter.ax works fine.

The app is 32-bit.

How should I code that in an action menu, ie: what type of key etc should I create to do the same job as regsvr32?

Is this what you're looking for:

No. We are not registering mimetype. After regsvr32 LAXSplitter.ax, when I check the registry, I don't see the usual registry entries, but instead find several InProcServer32 entries, each with a different CLSID.

I just built a test installer with LAVFilters-0.72 and ran this in the On Post Install event script:

System.RegisterActiveX(SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%\\LAVSplitter.ax"));
error = Application.GetLastError();
if (error ~= 0) then
    SetupData.WriteToLogFile("Error\tLAVSplitter.ax failed registration: " .. tblErrorMessages[error] .. "\r\n", true);
end

From what I see, the filters were apparently properly installed on the system, as a registry comparison shows differences:



Perhaps this approach is acceptable? Do not forget to use a matching System.UnregisterActiveX() in the On Pre Uninstall event script.
