Q. How to self-register an EXE application.

Paul Jeng -- pjeng@viagrafix.com

Environment: VC++ 4.2b, Win 95, NT 4.0

I would like to be able to self-registering my xxx.EXE (not a DLL) application.

Manually, I can run my xxx.REG (created by AppWizard) file and register
my WinApp, automation and typeLib to the Registry.  However, what shall I do
if I would like to register WinApp, automation and typelib internally in my program.
So that, running the xxx.REG file is not necessary.  I belive I can create
each line of entries using RegCreateKey to register and RegDeleteKey to
unregister.  Is there any more secure way to do it.


Thanks!

Paul

Am I missing something here?  The standard code produced by AppWizard
under VC++ 4.2b includes code that automatically registers the (OLE
automation server) application when its run in stand-alone mode.

Take a look at the code in the application's InitInstance method.

Have you tried AfxOleRegisterTypeLib? In a program I recently wrote, I
called it in my InitInstance() method.	

AfxOleRegisterTypeLib(AfxGetInstanceHandle(), LIBID_myobj, "myobj.tlb");

The LIBID is the first one in the idl/odl file, right before the word
"library".
