Answer 3

Is your COM DLL plain Windows API or did you use i.e. MFC or ATL?

Answer 4

Are you looking for regsvr32.exe? You might have to implement DLLRegister if you require custom registration as well.

Answer 6

I always use for registering of COM DLLs:

Regsvr32.exe <yourdll>.dll

or for unregisteringAnd for unregistering:

Regsvr32.exe /u <yourdll>.dllor for unregistering

But if you do not want to use Regsvr32 you could also use LoadLibrary GetProcaddress in your program and register your COM DLL. But keep in mind that you may need elevated privileges if you try to register a COM DLL in Vista / 7.

If you are wondering how to do this programmatically, simply load the DLL using LoadLibrary and call into the DllRegisterServer entry point. All ATL COM servers support this entry point.
