Question

Im using the following guide to implement a VLC player inside my windows application:

http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/163016/How-to-embed-VLC-control-in-c-net-windows-applicat

(see the top rated answer)

On step 2 in the guide, it says that I have to register the ActiveX component:

regsvr32 "D:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\axvlc.dll"

How do I do this programatically in the software so that the user doesn’t have to?
Im unsure on how to proceed here. Can anyone help me?

Please try this routine to register your dlls

    public static void RegisterDll(string filePath)
    {
        string fileinfo = String.Format(@"/s ""{0}""", filePath);
        Process process = new Process();
        process.StartInfo.FileName = "regsvr32.exe";
        process.StartInfo.Arguments = fileinfo;
        process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
        process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
        process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
        process.Start();
        process.WaitForExit();
        process.Close();
    }
