Is there a way to *automatically* register secman.dll as a COM object on the target install machine.
I know I can have the installing user do 'regsvr32...' but this is painful for the average user..
What other means are folks using to register this? I need options.

Thanks - Don

Hi Don.

You can use the Register property of the secman.dll item in the setup project. You just need to set this property to 'vsdrfCOMSelfReg'.

My Security Manager version is 1.5.1706.0.

I did not see the Register property 'vsdrfCOMSelfReg', but I did see the values 'vsdraDoNotRegister/vsdraCom/vsdraComRelativePath'.

I tried the 'vsdraCom' setting which seems to work. Was this the proper choice?

Thanks - Don H.

Don, you shoud add the secman.dll manually in your setup project.
Then open the Properties dialog of this dll and set the Register property to 'vsdrfCOMSelfReg'. Don't forget to place secman.dll to 'Common Files \ Outlook Security Manager' folder and set the Permanent property to True (see 'Deployment' chapter in osm.pdf file from the OSM installation package).
