Paquet Builder Won't Copy DLLs to %DESTPATH%

Hi @gdgsupport and all,

I’m trying to add DLL files (ActiveX controls) to a %DESTPATH%, such as C:\Program Files (x86)\DanTest\

I have it release one of 2 components beyond the Main Component, depending on whether they have Excel 32 bit or Excel 64 bit (thanks to your help by the way!!).

The MSI and EXE files previously used based on the Component Variables work just fine, but the DLL files I added to these components do not extract to the DESTPATH, so I’m not able to run the register dll command.

I tried running the Installer as Admin as well, but only the Main Component file and the MSI and EXE for mysql came through, none of the DLL files from the same component.

Thoughts??

Thanks

Dan

UPDATE

So, actually, PB seems to not want to extract the DLL files to anywhere. I set the DLL files in the Components to the %APPDATADIR%\GridTest\ folder, but it did not put these DLL files in this directory, so naturally it could not register them.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Dan

UPDATE 2

I also tried putting the DLL files on the Main component. Did not copy these to the install directory at all. I tried running the installer as administrator as well.

I also tried installing these DLLs to the %SYS% folder because the Paquet Builder website said that it can put ActiveX/COM files in the Windows System folder AND register them according to this page: https://www.installpackbuilder.com/custom-actions-installer. But alas, it did not extract the DLL files to that directory either…

Thanks for any help. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Thanks

Dan
