Hi I am trying to register a ActiveX exe file with
Visual Studio Installer 1.1, but when I tell it the
file's register type = 1-vsifrSelfReg. I keep
getting the message :"Error 1904. Module ...
failed to register. HRESULT -2147024796.
Contact your support person."
Does anyone know how I can get it to register
the exe?

You could start here.

I don't know if this will be of any help, it's oriented toward
installing Office 2000.
The problem is that I want to fix the problem from the
installation package. What I did find is that if I execute
the executable with the parameter /regserver it will
register it.
Now I still need to know how I can execute a program
from the Visual Studio Installer 1.1.

I'm not sure that you could use an installer to register an ActiveX EXE. Most installers shell out to regsvr32.exe. I know for a fact that if you run regsvr32.exe and pass in the name of your ActiveX EXE, then it will fail. Maybe someone knows a parameter to pass into regsvr32 to allow ActiveX EXE's to be registered.
is it dead???
i was looking for it two days ago, and i was directed to a non-existing page...
is it no longer suported???
i would really like to play with it
Like I said I know when you run an ActiveX exe with the parameter /regserver it wil register.
Only I don't know how I can use Visual Studio Installer to run
the command for me.
PS Visual Studio Installler is available at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/do...1/download.asp
When you run the EXE with the parameter /regserver, does it actually run the EXE, or does it simply register the EXE? I know if I just run the EXE (without parameters), it registers itself.
When I just run the Exe it will execute the exe and using the /regserver will just register it.
Do you know how I can execute commands from Visual Studio Installer?
Is there a shell or shellExecute command? Perhaps like Installshield, LaunchApp?
Not as far as I can tell.
Is there any other installer that is able to make msi files?
Which perhaps is available for free?
InstallShield for Windows Installer, but it will cost you some moolah.
