FAQ: How can I install AspTear without using Setup or reguser.exe (ISP setup)?

This procedure applies to AspTear 1.2 only

A problem that usually comes up when you want to install a component on an ISP's Web server: ISP will accomodate the component's .dll, but won't run setup.exe or any other custom EXE (such as reguser.exe, which is required for registration).

To solve this problem, you can install AspTear on another machine and take asptear.dll from the installation directory and ship the DLL to your ISP, which can register it using

regsvr32 asptear.dll

Also tell the ISP to copy your license file (asptear.lic) into the same directory as asptear.dll.

For the registration process, please copy and paste the following registry export script into a file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SOFTWING\Licenses]
"AspTear 1.1"="your license name here"

In order to automatically import it, name it asptear.reg. Simply double-clicking adds the necessary registry keys. If you don't want to take the risk of someone inadvertently double-clicking the file, name it with a different extension (.txt for example) and use the Import Registry File functionality of regedit.exe:
