Register .NET COM Interop on 64-bit

[biddleswade]

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me how I can get by 32-bit .NET 2.0 DLL that's required for COM Interop to register correctly on a 64-bit OS?

In InstallShield I have set the .NET COM Interop component option to true and the DLL will register successfully on a 32-bit OS.

Cheers.

What do you have in mind when you say "register correctly"? The file should register as a 32-bit DLL (i.e. under the Wow6432Node on a 64-bit machine) without any changes. If you want to register it as a 64-bit DLL, then you would need it to be a 64-bit DLL, as otherwise other 64-bit processes could not load it.

I'm having the same problem as above.

I am trying to register a .net com interop dll compiled on a 64 bit machine using Visual Studio 2005 with the Target CPU setting set to AnyCPU. From what I've read this will compile a 64 bit dll because it is compiled on a 64 bit machine.

I need to know how to set Installshield so that the dll will be registered in the standard registration area for 64 bit apps, and not the wow32 area for 32 bit apps.
