Spoon Installer Command Line Problem

[sdotson]

I'm trying to register a dll via the command line

In the Pre/Post Actions I select Run and in the command line area I type

regsvr32 /s sDotsoniPropWizard.dll

I leave the To Run section blank as I don't need to run anything.

In the PrePost Actions listbox it lists this as Run "

On install I get a Error on " (I assume the Run " command above)

Any clues?

Also how do you go about unregistering this DLL when uninstalling?

Thanks,
Sean

No need, Spoon installer will register and unregister dlls automatically.

Great, nice feature. Last question in regards to dlls and ocxs.

I need to distribute an OCX into the windows/system32 directory. I do not want to overwrite it if it exists. Furthermore on uninstall I don't want to delete it if it does exist.

It appears that SpoonInstall overwrites the old version and on uninstall delete it.

It will do, you would have to download the source code and change it for this one.

Hi. I did the following (since I didn't know that spooninstall would register the file)

To Run: command.com
Command line: /C <System>\regsvr32.exe "<Destination>\midas.dll"

[V] Wait for program to finish
[V] Optional: Register db-file midas.dll


The corresponding Uninstall would be:

To Run: command.com
Command line: /C <System>\regsvr32.exe /u "<Destination>\midas.dll"
