 Notes

• Windows Installer does not permit the self registration of executable files or type libraries. You may use this command to self register executables or type libraries.
• Windows Installer does not permit specifying the order of self registration. If the libraries you are installing are inter-dependent and require to be registered in a particular order, do not register them through Windows Installer (do not check the File is Self Registering DLL option in the Install Files command). Use this command instead.
• Files you self register with this command during an installation must be explicitly unregistered when they are being removed (such as deselection during an installation maintenance operation or a complete uninstallation).
