Inno Setup Scroll through the files and register each .NET dll

Question

I create the installation file using Inno Setup, where I need to register an unknown amount of DLL.net using the regasm.exe file. I know that I can use the following code to register .net dll.

[Run] Filename: "{dotnet20}\RegAsm.exe"; Parameters: /codebase MyDLL.dll; WorkingDir: {app}; StatusMsg: "Registering Controls."; Flags: runminimized 

My problem: there are several DLLs in the folder, and I do not know how the name of each DLL will be registered. Is there a way in which I can scroll through files in a folder and register each of them without knowing the number of files and their names?

Please help, thanks

I cannot find any flag that will register them for you, for example. from the [Files] section, so I wrote this script, which should iterate over all * .dll files in the specified folder and for each command line call of the registration tool. Please note that I have not tested this script, and I'm not sure about using the command line with its parameters, but the main idea should be there:

 [Code] function RegisterNetLibraries(const Folder: string): Integer; var RegTool: string; FindRec: TFindRec; ResultCode: Integer; begin // initialize result to 0 processed files Result := 0; // expand the path to the registration tool RegTool := ExpandConstant('{dotnet20}\RegAsm.exe'); // check if the registration tool exists; if not then exit... if not FileExists(RegTool) then begin MsgBox('RegAsm.exe not found!' + #13#10 + RegTool, mbError, MB_OK); Exit; end; // if we've found a *.dll file in the specified folder, then... if FindFirst(ExpandConstant(Folder + '\*.dll'), FindRec) then try // repeat loop for every *.dll file in the specified folder repeat // if the iterated item is not a directory named like Dir.dll if FindRec.Attributes and FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY = 0 then begin // if the execution of the registration tool succeeded, then... if Exec(RegTool, '/codebase ' + Folder + '\' + FindRec.Name, ExpandConstant('{app}'), SW_HIDE, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode) then // increase the returned processed file count Result := Result + 1 else // the execution failed, so let try to show why SysErrorMessage(ResultCode); end; until // when there no next file item, the loop ends not FindNext(FindRec); finally // release the allocated search resources FindClose(FindRec); end; end; procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep); var Count: Integer; begin // if we are at the post installation step, then... if CurStep = ssPostInstall then begin // the RegisterNetLibraries function returns count of processed files, // don't forget that you must pass expanded constant values Count := RegisterNetLibraries(ExpandConstant('{app}\Libs')); // show how many files have been processed MsgBox(IntToStr(Count) + ' libraries was processed...', mbInformation, MB_OK); end; end;
