How is this done? I know I must use regsrv32, but how can I run DOS commands on a script?
The objective is to register the ocx component while loading the script, so it can be accessible by the script.

Thanks

code:

---

var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
Shell.Run("regsrv32 /s:"+MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath+"\\file.ocx");

or you could even place it under OleFiles in the scriptinfo.xml

When you create a script-install program, you can choose which DLL's to register. But if you want to do it in a script, use Felu's code .

To answer your question:
Maybe. I actually think this would require a computer restart, that's the reason why you have to restart your computer after installing programs (there's other reasons as well).

Using this method (WScript.Shell) it will be ready to be accessed by MsgPlus?

Yea. Its the same as registering through the command line. You can use Shell.Run as many time as you want but placing it in OleFiles will only register it while the script is imported.

Yes, it's possible. If you put the OCX in the Windows folder, a reboot is a must to register it automatically!
