I have a ActiveX dll written in vb that uses the shell
function to launch applications, and I am calling it from
an asp page. It's part of an automated build process. The
app I am launching is installshield. I am using the
IsCmdBld.exe, the command line build for installshield.
The problem that I am having is that during the
installshild build, it can't find the merge modules. But,
when I run IsCmdBld.exe in the console(cmd.exe) everything
is fine. I know that by using this method, the
IsCmdBld.exe is running within IIS, thus, it(iscmdbld)
cannot read the system registry for the MMSearchPath key
to find the merge modules. My question is, how to iscmdbld
can access the system registry for the MMSearchPath. If
anyone have any idea, please let me know. Thank you in
advance.
