InnoSetup Process exit codes

Hi

I am using the following code to register a .net dll into the registry. When I compile and run it from Inno Setup interface I receive Process Exit code 100 and a Setup Exit Code of 0. Please could you tell me where I am going wrong and what does a process exit code meant?

When I run regasm from command prompt it runs fine and registers the dll without any errors. When I try to run through the InnoSetup compiler using the script I had attached, the dll does not get registered.

Attached is the screenshot of the regasm command from command prompt.

The return code for regasm isn't in the screen shot you posted. Can you repost that, perhaps as a text file?

Have you tried on other machines?

I have not tried this out on any other machine. I will try and do so.

In the meanwhile, I am attaching 2 screenshots.
One is the entire output from the debug window of InnoSetup. I have highlighted the part where the regasm gets executed and also the Process exit code.

The second screenshot is the execution of the regasm from the command prompt. Again the screenshot shows whatever output I am seeing. There is no return code displayed when executed from command prompt.

Thanks

One more question, how did you determine that the registering didn't work when run through Inno? I ran a test on a simple component here and didn't see any difference between the Inno register and a command line register.

After registering I ran my PHP script that was using the COM object and I got an error message. I then registered the dll manually and then ran the same PHP script and it executed perfectly.

No Luck still. Hope someone can help out with this issue.

ok. I created a batch file to run the regasm and then it registers the dll successfully. But I still have one problem which I would like to pass 2 parameters to the batch file. One of the parameters I want to pass is something like c:\Program files\.... ie it has a space and hence the parameter gets truncated @ c:\Program.
Any ideas how to pass it without breaking would be great.

Thanks
