Answer 1

By dragging and dropping the dll onto 'regasm' you can register it. You can open two 'Window Explorer' windows. One will contain the dll you wish to register. The 2nd window will be the location of the 'regasm' application. Scroll down in both windows so that you have a view of both the dll and 'regasm'. It helps to reduce the size of the two windows so they are side-by-side. Be sure to drag the dll over the 'regasm' that is labeled 'application'. There are several 'regasm' files but you only want the application.

In command prompt:

SET PATH = "%PATH%;%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727"

For the 64-bit RegAsm.exe you will need to find it someplace like this:

path = %path%;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
regasm httpHelper\bin\Debug\httpHelper.dll /tlb:.\httpHelper.tlb /codebase
