RegAsm.exe on Vista

[vovan]

My VB6 application uses DLL developed in VB2005. It may be changed very
often and everytime VB6 application unregisters an old version, replaces
with a new one and registers a new version by using RegAsm.exe
I'm doing it this way:
Shell "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe " &
"""" & strAppPath & "\WorkorderXML.dll" & """"

On Windows XP it works fine. On Vista the registration fails without any
message.
I tried to register it manually via Run window. It is not registered either.
I think this is Vista security again.

Any suggestion how to register the DLL via RegAsm on Vista

Thank you

Strange. You added a VB6 newsgroup to your
long list of inappropriate posting locations for a
..Net question, but you neglected to add -

alt.questions.EverythingUnderTheSun

You should be able to use regsvr32.exe manually if you run it as admin
or you could try registration free COM:

good luck!

Thank you Chris.
Now my VB6 app registers DLL developed in VB 2005 without any user
interaction. It's working on 2000 and XP only. On Vista Why should I move to
manual registration?

Regasm.exe does not have a manifest, so it will not ask for elevation,
therefore by default it will run as a standard user and will fail to write
to HKLM registry entries.
