Hello,

I have developed a C# dll and a MFC application.The functions from the dll are being used in this MFC application.So i build the code the dll is being registered in the registries with a registry key automatically but when i run this through exe in another machine its not writing the CLSID key in the registries. Due it this in the below code the condition is getting failed.

Note: The registry key is writing in the registries only when i build the entire solution.

HRESULT hr = CoInitialize(NULL);
CLSID clsid;
HRESULT hResult = CLSIDFromProgID ( _T("dllfunction"), &clsid);
if (FAILED(hResult))
{
AfxMessageBox(L"failed");
return ;
}

So Do i have to change anything in the properties to make this work.

Did you register the dll on the other PC with the correct version of regsvr32?

Solution 1

You have to explicitely register (see Regasm.exe (Assembly Registration Tool)[^]) your DLL in the 'other machine'

Thanks for the reply.
Using the above link i have created a .reg file for the dll and if i run that reg file manually it works fine.But i need one more suggestion. I want to do this automatically instead of doing it manually so i have used ShellExecute statement in the application to execute .reg file but its not writing you this function.Below is the code i have used can u just check is there anything wrong i have done

ShellExecute(NULL, L"open",C:\\DllFun.reg " , NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);
