In order to do that, we need to do COM registration using the generated MyLib.dll and MyLib.tlb files. When I am installing both files into
Ms Access Automation Error. The System Cannot Find The File Specified
our MyApp's folder, everything is working fine, the COM function is invoked correctly. However, I am having an error mentioned in the title when I am installing the dll into a common folder - the reason I am doing it is because we want to allow different versions of MyApp to be installed on the same machine. So if the COM component doesn't change, we of course want to share it among these different versions and let Windows do the reference count. I am not sure where I should put the MyLib.tlb file, either in MyApp's installation folder, or the same common folder as MyLib.dll. But anyway, I tried both locations, and they all gave the same error. I tried to compare the registry files between the case when I put MyLib.* into MyApp's folder, and the case when I put MyLib.dll into common folder. I can't see any difference except of course the CodeBase of the Class I am trying to register under HKCR\Wow6432nodes\CLSID{MYCLSID}\InprocServer32. Another thing I don't understand is there is no sub-key named TypeLib under HKCR\Wow6432nodes\CLSID{MYCLSID} in both cases, which in my understanding is the way to link the TypeLib to the dll (but why is

Regasm Unregister
Registering a .NET dll for use in VB6 application up vote 7 down vote favorite I have a DLL I wrote in C# which I want to use in my VB6 application. In VS2008 the project property "Register for COM interop" http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11673878/com-registration-fails-automation-error-the-system-cannot-find-the-file-speci is checked, and when I compile the DLL and try to use it on my development machine - it runs ok. I need to run it on a computer which does not have VS2008, so I tried to register this DLL like so: C:\WINDOWS\system32>..\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm myDLL.dll /tlb: myDLL.tlb /codebase but then when I try to run it I get this error: Automation Error The system cannot find the file specified.

Your class in .NET should be decorated like this: [GuidAttribute("BA713700-522D-466e-8DD4-225884504678")] public class MyClass This way your class will get compiled with the same GUID attribute every time you run regasm against it. If you do not include this attribute, regasm will auto
