    Installer Problems

    I have an application that is a dll file that I am trying to install with InstallShield. I am having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to register the dll and then copy it's guid to another registry key. Does anyone know of any good articles or know how to do it?

    Thanks in advance!

    I used Installshield a few years back and I think I remember that it had different "folders" with different actions associated with them (e.g. Self-refister, etc) where you could add dlls. So if you can find a dll that is installed in the manner you prefer, then add your dll to that folder.
