Register dll by using shell

[hakan aktan]

I have an application working on WinCE.NET and written on CF 1.1 VB.NET
2003
I need to register "Imgdecmp.dll" cos my OS does not support image files.
I am registering dll before running the application as :

1- run cmd.exe from start menu
2- copy "regsvrce.exe" and "imgdecmp.dll" into windows directory of device
3- write command : "regsvrce.exe /i /s imgdecmp.dll"
4- close command window and run the application

I want to do this by using shell command as in visual basic but i can not
find it?
Does CF 1.1 and VB 2003 has support for shell command , if not is there
another way to do that
by code ?

Thanx in advance

Well, you can use the Process class that OpenNETCF provides. There's also a
class that implements a few of the VB-like calls, including Shell (in the
OpenNETCF.VisualBasic namespace).

Hi Mr Tobey,

I included opennetcf.visualbasic and now i can run exe by shell but i could
not
run it by sending parameters.this works well
Shell("\Hard Disk\Cabs\setups\REGSVRCE.EXE",
OpenNETCF.VisualBasic.AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus, True, -1)

here is the code i wrote ( this does not work) Would you tell me me my
mistake, is my format wrong?:

Dim myExe As String = "\Hard Disk\Cabs\setups\REGSVRCE.EXE"

Dim targetDll As String = "imgdecmp.dll"

Call Shell(" """ & myExe & """ " + " /i /s " + targetDll ,
OpenNETCF.VisualBasic.AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus, True)

----------------------------------Code must do this :
String that works on comand well : "regsvrce.exe /i /s imgdecmp.dll"

Thanx in advance

Where is imgdecmp.dll located? You're not giving a ptha to it. As a side
note, where did you get this DLL anyway?

Yes, your code is wrong. CE has no notion of a current directory, so it
can't find the file you're giving the name for.

OpenNETCF.Diagnostics.Process.Start("""\Hard
Disk\Cabs\setups\regsvrce.exe""", " /i /s imgdecmp.dll")
