Self-Registering ATL COM

I have created an ATL Com object which I have packaged up into a .cab
file using the cab wizard supplied with eVC++.

The cab package deploys the dll to the appropriate directory \Windows
and creates the necessary registry entry based on the entry in the
.inf file, however, it does not appear as if the dll is actually been
registered on the device.

Do I need to add further code to my dll in the
DllRegisterServer/DllUnregisterServer functions to correctly
self-register this component.

Any help much appreciated as the example AppInst provided doesnt
explain very clearly what everything does.

Make sure you have a section like:

[DefaultInstall.Arm 1100 (4K) v3.00]
CopyFiles=Files.Arm 1100 (4K) v3.00
CESelfRegister=The_DLL_Name.dll

in your .INF file
