Hi,
Do you have an example of how to register the outlook Addin dll from my Delphi application ?
Suppose I want to register yours "Add-in Express Outlook Toys for VCL" (ADXToys2OL.dll)


Thanks
Nir

Hi Nir,

You can use the ShellExecute function, please see the code sample below: 

uses ShellApi;

// ...
ShellExecute(0, 'open', 'regsvr32.exe', '/s '+ PChar(FileName), nil, SW_HIDE);

In general this is the common approach for all operating systems. But note, you need to register the 64-bit version of your add-in if 64-bit Office is installed on the target machine.

Where do you suggest to put the dll ?


Any local folder that is accessible (has Read&Execute permissions) to the end-user.
