Hello,

I've been using an interop .dll to interface with my COM server successfully but had a question about registration.

Originally I was using a 3rd party installer which registered the COM server during the installation. Now, however, I'm trying to do this myself via the Visual Studio command line and not leverage the installer. I researched the subject on the internet but saw a slew of conflicting answers and not quite sure which one fits my particular case.

I imagine a good test would be to remove the software that the setup installed (but keep the COM server .exe and .tlb files) and then see if I can add my .tlb as a reference in my project again. If unsuccessful then I can try registering the COM server on the command line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
