install COM Object on another pc

[DonInEP]

Hi, I have created a com object (session object) in VB 2005, and it works
great on my development machine. I can't seem to get it to work on another
machine though. Has anyone else run into this? Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Don

Don,
For COM objects you need to register them on each machine they are to be
used on. On your development machine Visual Studio does this for you.
Please explore the regasm.exe utility included with .Net 2.0.

Ryan,

On the dev machine I run:

regasm /tlb:ClassLibrary1.tlb ClassLibrary1.dll


to register the file.

Is it the same syntax on another machine?

Thanks,
Don

Yes, but you don't need the /tlb flag unless you have specially configured
your .tlb file. regasm will infer what it needs to do through reflection of
your exe.

Ryan,

I type:

regasm ClassLibrary1.dll

and I get the message that it was registerd sucessfully, however I still get
the error.

What am I missing here?

Ryan,

Turns out you also need to add it to the assembly cache using the .net
configuration utility in the control panel.

Got it working now.

Thanks!!!

That's odd, we program in .Net and we have never had to add anything to the
GAC.
