Registering a COM Plug-in
If you create the plug-in using ATL, the following command is added to the build environment so that the plug-in is automatically registered when you build it:
regsvr32 /s /c "$(TargetPath)"
To register a plug-in on a computer other than that on which the plug-in was built, enter the preceding command on the command line. TargetPath contains the path of the .dll or .exe file that contains your plug-in. To remove a plug-in from the registry, enter the following command:
regsvr32 /u "TargetPath"
When you use ATL to create a plug-in, you can use a registry script to add information to the appropriate registry entry. The registry script is stored in a file with an .rgs extension. The following script automatically adds registry information for a sample event notification plug-in.
HKCR { EventTest.EventPlugin.1 = s 'EventPlugin Class' { CLSID = s '{8A7D7A8F-69C1-4FE0-BAA1-56A7EA48F68D}' } EventTest.EventPlugin = s 'EventPlugin Class' { CLSID = s '{8A7D7A8F-69C1-4FE0-BAA1-56A7EA48F68D}' CurVer = s 'EventTest.EventPlugin.1' } NoRemove CLSID { ForceRemove {8A7D7A8F-69C1-4FE0-BAA1-56A7EA48F68D} = s 'EventPlugin Class' { ProgID = s 'EventTest.EventPlugin.1' VersionIndependentProgID = s 'EventTest.EventPlugin' InprocServer32 = s '%MODULE%' { val ThreadingModel = s 'Apartment' } val AppID = s '%APPID%' 'TypeLib' = s '{AA7C50DF-3B11-47B5-9E21-AECF77A378BF}' ForceRemove Properties { val Author = s 'Company_Name' val Name = s 'Sample Event Notification Plugin' val Copyright = s 'Copyright 2002' val MMCMoniker = s 'CLSID:{DCC0FCEE-DD79-4957-BB91-E4E490FE00D0}' val UnsupportedLoadTypes = d '2' } } } } HKLM { NoRemove SOFTWARE { NoRemove Microsoft { NoRemove 'Windows Media' { NoRemove Server { NoRemove RegisteredPlugins { NoRemove 'Event Notification and Authorization' { ForceRemove {8A7D7A8F-69C1-4FE0-BAA1-56A7EA48F68D} = s 'Sample Event Notification Plugin' { } } } } } } } }
