Very Computer

Hi,

I use VB-5 SP3.

I use a third-party installer (INF-Tool) to generate my installation package
and I use VB Setup Wizard to generate the setup.lst file to know which DLL
is needed and which one must be registered.

Question #1:

In the setup.lst I found 2 .tlb files (STDOLE2.TLB and DAO2535.TLB) with the
$(TLBRegister) key from setup wiz.  It seems to be some kind of registration
to do but how can I do it?  And I must be able to do it by code from my app
because INF-Tool has no option to register this kind of files.  Any idea?

Question #2:

My app needs DAO2535.TLB and DAO350.DLL to run and in the setup.lst these
files must be in the $(MSDAOPath) directory, which is C:\PROGRAM
FILES\COMMONS FILES\MICROSOFT SHARED\DAO\... on an English Windows but it is
C:\PROGRAM FILES\FICHIERS COMMUNS\MICROSOFT SHARED\DAO\... on a French
Windows and so on for other languages.  And INF-Tool has no way to determine
this directory.  So I decided to install these 2 files in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory and register them a this place, even if they exist or not in the
"MSDAOPath".  Am I going into trouble or conflict by doing that?  I did some
test on my PC and all works fine, these 2 files are at the 2 places and
registered at each place, but they are of the same version.  What will
happening on a user PC if one of these files didn't have the same version?

My package MUST be released Monday, so every fast answer will be very
appreciated!

Thanks!

DAO is supposed to live in \PROGRAM FILES\COMMONS FILES\MICROSOFT
SHARED\DAO. You can put it anywhere you want as long as you register it from
that location. You will be opening yourself up to having multiple, versions
on the same machine, however.

The preferred location for shared components is stored in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools

This has the correct location independant of disk or language
