RegDll doesn't work fine
Hi,

I have a problem with RegDLL

It doesn't work if I call it juste after copying the dll I want to register. This code doesn't work (the dll is not registered):

SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
File "test.dll"
RegDLL "$INSTDIR\test.dll"

In fact, I have to register my dlls after copying all files.
I suppose that the command RegDLL is executed before the file has been compeletely copied.

Is it possible to correct this behaviour? In fact, is it possible to create a synchronous copy of the files? Like this, the RegDLL would be launched only if the file has been compeletely copied.

Are you sure that DLL has to be registered?

That DLL probably depends on some other DLLs that are copied after the RegDLL instruction. Make sure you extract all its dependencies before you try to register it.

Ok, I'll try to explain how I would do this:

Copy all of your files(dlls AND other stuff) where you want them to be. After all sections which copy files, you open a section which has just to register the dlls

like this:


Section "copy dlls"
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
File "test.dll"
File "other.dll"
File "your.dll"
SectionEnd

Section "register dlls"
RegDLL "$INSTDIR\test.dll"
RegDLL "$INSTDIR\other.dll"
RegDLL "$INSTDIR\your.dll"
SectionEnd


Well I think this should work

so long -L-B-

2kichik:
You're right!
I tried to register the xerces dll without having copy the 2 other dll needed by the first one!
