Regsvr32 (Kernel32.dll)

I have read some of this elsewhere on forums in VB. Has anyone seen code that I can declare in VFP to call regsvr32 without having to shell out to register a dll

Presently my line of code reads

RUN REGSVR32 HASHCTL.DLL /

where the switch bypasses a message box helping with security but still shelling out of the present environment. This works smashing otherwise

Thanks in advance

Hi Charlane:

Can you use the Shellexecute or WinExec to call the Regsvr 32?

Charlane,

*File: RegisterOLEControl.prg
*-- This function registers an OCX/ActiveX control
* or set of OCX/ActiveX controls based on the name of file.
*-- Note: It works for OLE servers too.

*-- Parameters:
* tcFileName = the name of the file that contains
* the control(s), including the path.
*-- Returns:
* Logical TRUE if successful, FALSE otherwise.
* Also returns FALSE if the file doesn't exist.
*-- Call sample:
* llRegistered = RegisterControl("c:\windows\system\comctl32.ocx")

LPARAMETERS tcFileName
LOCAL llSuccess

llSuccess = .f.

IF FILE( tcFileName )
DECLARE INTEGER DllRegisterServer IN (tcFileName) AS
__DllRegisterServer__
*-- This function returns 0 if successful
llSuccess = ( __DllRegisterServer__() = 0 )
ENDIF

RETURN llSuccess
