SUMMARY
When you use the Systems Management Server Installer to deploy certain applications, it may be necessary to register services, applications, or OCX controls in the Windows NT or Windows 95 operating system. You can do this with actions in the Script Editor. This article provides some examples of how to do this.



Registering OLE Server Applications
In the Execute Program action item in the Script Editor, enter in the following fields: EXE PATH: %MAINDIR%\yourappname.exe COMMAND LINE: /REGSERVER

Registering a Third-Party OCX
The easiest way to do this is to use the Self Register OCXs/DLLs action item in the Script Editor to have Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer register these files automatically. Another option is to manually include Regsvrocx.exe with your installation, and use the Execute Program action item in the Script Editor. Use the following example as a model for your own installation: EXE PATH: %TEMP%\regsvrocx.exe COMMAND LINE: %SYS%\example.ocx

Registering a Third-Party Application
In the Execute Program action item in the Script Editor, use the following lines as a model for your own installation: EXE PATH: %MAINDIR%\MYAPP.EXE COMMAND LINE: /REGSERVER

Registring a third-Party Service
You can register services with the Create Service action item in the Script Editor.
