The SelfRegModules action processes all modules listed in the
SelfReg table and registers all installed modules with the system. The installer does not self-register EXE files.
Sequence Restrictions
The
InstallValidate action must be called before calling the SelfRegModules action. If an
InstallFiles action is used, it must appear before the SelfRegModules action in the sequence. Because the SelfRegModules action changes the system, SelfRegModules should come after the
InstallInitialize action.
ActionData Messages
| Field | Description of action data |
|---|
| [1] | Identifier of registered module file. |
| [2] | Identifier of folder holding registered module file. |
Remarks
The SelfRegModules action attempts to call the
DllRegisterServer function of the module scheduled to be registered. This action runs with elevated privileges when the installation is being run with elevated privileges, such as during a per-machine installation. During a per-user installation the installer runs this action with user privileges.
Note that you cannot specify the order in which the installer registers self-registering DLLs by using the
SelfUnRegModules action.
