calling a function to get the value in the dll
Hi,
In my application files, I've a .dll file having a piece of value which another function is capable of extracting. Now at the time of installation, I need this value to be retrieved from the .dll file.
The question is:
Now, how to call the function from InstallScript, to get the values so as to save it into the registry. :confused:
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

There's a really good explanation you can follow if you look at the help topic "Calling a .dll File Function".

Hey Dan,
Thanks for the reply but I'm still not getting the solution. I tried looking in the help and found the CallDLLFx function which calls a function, which is inside a dll file.
But the actual problem is that I need to call a function which resides in a file(i.e. from the set of files, which I'm installing) and this function should take as parameter the dll file name and will return the values in the dll file which I need to save into the registry key.
Now as this function is internal to the application file, which I'm installing, I wonder whether there is any way to call it.:confused:
Thanks in advance. 🙂
