Register assembly

I need to register a C# .NET assembly that is being called from a Clarion
app. Is there an easy way to do this in SB, or do I need to find and call
regasm.exe manually?

Thx,
Dave Moyer

You have different options to handle this (File Properties -> Advanced
tab -or- "Register File Operation..." script function). See attached
screenshots.

Does this help?

Is it also possible to set Code Access Security through Setup Builder 7,
or will we have to find and call Caspol.exe for this?

If the user installs to a network-drive and you register the assembly
for COM interop, you are still running the risk that the user can't run
..Net code from the network drive (standard in XP and Vista) so the COM
component still won't work!

You have to execute caspol.exe via the "Run Program..." or "Run Command
Line..." functions to set Code Access Security.

Friedrich,

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

OK, thank you for the info, but are there an easy way to find the path
to caspol.exe then (path to .Net framework)?

According to Microsoft, it's located at:

%WINDIR%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\<frameworkversion >

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973850.aspx

For example:

%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

I almost feel silly to keep on asking questions with so obvious answers,
but here goes:

How do I now the <frameworkversion> part of the above path? Can there
ever be other possibilities for .Net 2.0 runtime than "v2.0.50727"?

Microsoft does not give an official answer to this path question.

I would check if %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 has CasPol.exe.
If this is not the case, display a warning (or give the user other
instructions).

But I have never seen a system where CasPol.exe was not in \v2.0.50727 (even
Windows 7 64-bit has it located there)
