Good day!

There are a couple of questions about working with this wonderful program)

I make the installer of the vlc plugin to work in browsers, the plugin consists mainly of two active component components and a mozilla plugin. But it is impossible to register them correctly in the registry. How can this be done using installshield when creating an installer?

The idea is that in order to register the dll with activex it is enough to execute the regsvr32 путь\до\activex.dll command regsvr32 путь\до\activex.dll from the console, is it possible to do this at the time of installation? If even manually copy all the keys, then the path specified in them will be valid only for my system, unlike other operating systems. And how to be in this case with the 64-bit version, there surely everything should be a little different?

And the second question is, how can I configure auto-update when creating an installer?

Or maybe you can tell Russian-speaking resources on this topic?

Thanks in advance for the answers!

    Is the registy question still relevant? In InstallShield, you can directly specify what and how to register in the registry (for example, project assistant-> application registry), but this may differ slightly from version to version. What version of InstallShield are you using? In your case, one of the solutions is:

    1. Register activex.dll manually from the command line.
    2. See what and how entered in the registry.
    3. In InstallShield, create similar keys and enter similar values ​​in the application registry. Like that.

    PS I did not see Russian-language resources on InstallShield. the characters are over

    You can search for something in Russian via InstallShield on msdn, although honestly I doubt that there will be something significant.

    Yes, as for 64-bit systems. It would be better to do it in the same way: first manually, and then enter the required values ​​via InstallShield.

    PSS Manuals in English are on the developer's site: http://www.flexerasoftware.com But, frankly, they are not very well done. But in InstallShield, in principle, management is done intuitively. But this is IMHO.

    • Thanks for the answer) For the activex component in the installsheet itself, it indicated that it should be registered itself and everything worked, for the other components it was registered manually. So far, there are no problems in the 64-bit system .. But for me, the question remains how to configure the auto-update of this whole system, but I still haven't figured it out ( - ice178
