regsvr CA problems
Hi,
I've got a problem with a CA which should register a dll file in my x64 package.
In the CustomAction table I have the following entry:
Action Type Source Target
regsvr 1634 System64Folder regsvr32.exe /s "%ProgramFiles%\bla\bla\bla.dll"
If I look to the logfile it says:
MSI (s) (44:9C) [09:13:59:571]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=regsvr,,)
MSI (s) (44:9C) [09:13:59:571]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=regsvr,ActionType=1634,Source=C:\Windows\system32\,Target=regsvr32.exe /s "%ProgramFiles%\bla\bla\bla.dll",)
CustomAction regsvr returned actual error code 3 but will be translated to success due to continue marking
The path to regsvr32.exe and the path to the dll file is defenatley right and I have no clue why I'am always getting
back an error code 3 from regsvr. Could someone give me a tip please?

Try removing /S from the target path and see what error message appears in UI mode.

Thanks for the tip, it seems like the environment variable isn't correctly dissolved. I'am getting an
error which says "'%ProgramFiles%\bla\bla' is no correct path blabla" could anyone imagine why this
happens?

...then, read up on how to register COM containers properly, using the various advertising tables. Using RegSvr32 and MSIExec /Y to register DLLs/OCXs is the mark of the amatuer.

I see you've changed from the devil to amateur, are both the same now? [&:]
