Importing .Net DLLs into Delphi 7
I am currently maintaining a product in the Delphi 7 environment that requires additional functionality implemented in a .net (c#, I believe) dll library.
So during development I imported the type library which created the TLB file, wrote the code, and on the developement machine it works fine. Then I try to move this application to another machine it doesn't work, claiming an OLEError, "Class not registered"
Most likely I'm missing something, but I don't really know much about how the .net DLLs work, except that I can't register them in the normal way.
So my question is, what am I doing or not doing that I should be or shouldn't be?
How do I register this dll?

you have to get that .NET dll on the other machine and register it with regasm.exe(it's in the .net framework directory) (you must use the same .NET framework as on the development machine, though it might be compatible with newer .net version, but I never tried such thing.)

Ok, I've registered it, and now I'm gettings "Interface not supported"
I've done some searching as I suppose that if you didn't get any errors and it said successfull at dll registration, then there might be an error in system configuration.
I suggest to first do the following before attempting to do anything else:
- restart pc, try again
- use a COM explorer utility and see that indeed the interface you are using is there (you might be missing some assemblied for that .net dll) (one such utility is: http://www.4developers.com/com/index.htm )
if that does not fix it, then try the info from the following pages:

Turns out the correct DLL was not installed.
