Make COM Register silent for EXE

wellilein · #1 03-15-2006, 12:34 PM

COM registering an EXE file is already possible. Unfortunately there is always a message which blocks the build process.

If not by default being silent, I suggest a silent checkbox.

I am currently using a workaround
%DOSCMD% C:\...\ToRegister.exe -s -regserver

BTW: Registering DLLs is already silent.

Thanks, Thomas

Using the -regserver flag on COM exes typically is silent (and I don't think -s is a standard flag for COM exes). What development tool was the exe created with? Does it contain custom code to display a message when -s is not specified?

It is a 3rd party tool. I don't know which development tool was used to program it. The message is "RegisterServer in C:\...\ToRegister.exe succeeded". I also don't know whether private code was used to achieve this.

Sorry for bothering you if -s is not a standard flag. I never had a COM EXE server before, so I didn't know default behavior.

Thanks,
Thomas
