Registering a Dll
Hi,
I have created a wise scritp wrapper for a vendor msi. when I install and launch the application on Windows 7, its throwing an error saying a dll was not registered. When I am trying to register it with regsvr32.exe, it saying dll was loaded, but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80020009. When I run cmdline in Administrator mode and register the dll, it went fine. so how can I manage it in the wise script.
Thanks.

HELLO ravi,
u can use vbscript also as:
Set wshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ashell.Run("regsvr32.exe /s " & "<Path of dll file>")
Tried to use runas command in wse

Hi Mayur,
Thanks for the reply. I tried with the VB script, still not working. You mentioned to try runas command in wse. How can we do that?
Thanks.

My guess would be that the account you're installing with has insufficient rights to write to either HKLM\Software\Classes or the specific key(s) where the registration information would be written. A few seconds using ProcMon will determine that.
Quite why anyone in your position would imagine that a non-admin account could be used to install software - especially on Windows 7 - escapes me.

Thanks for the replies.
I created a Transform to vendor msi by adding the dll to selfreg table and it solved the problem.
Thanks.

SelfReg is The Work of Satan. If the DLL has any dependencies which are missing on your target machines, registration by this method will fail. You should use the advertising tables.
