Trouble registering Microsoft.Navision.Mail.dll in version 4

deltoid

We wanted to use SMTP in version 4.02 and rather than use a 3rd party dll I decided to use the one from Navision 5.0. In my testing environment this works fine and I can register, compile and run the codeunit.

In the client's environment they can't. They run the .reg script and it says it is successfully registered, they then close Navision and open it again, when they open it and try and run the test it complains, when trying to compile the codeunit it will also complain. It is as though the .dll is not registered.

To register the DLL I use the following .reg script

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.Navision.Mail.SmtpMessage]
@="Microsoft.Navision.Mail.SmtpMessage"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.Navision.Mail.SmtpMessage\CLSID]

Have you copied .DLL and .TLB file or just DLL?

deltoid

I can't say 100% what the client has done but my instructions were:

1. Close Navision.
2. Copy the .tlb and .dll to the Client folder of Navision.
3. Run Mail.reg.
4. Open Navision.

The only thing I can think of at the moment is that they haven't followed the instructions correctly as every computer I test it on, works.

hi,
i came up with that problem like you before..after trying to register and being not able to register it, i have written my own codeunit that uses CDO... it works, but i had spended lots of time to register that dll.. now i wonder how you generated this .reg file or you found it somewhere?.. if you found somewhere, where did you find it?

I created the .reg file myself. Only I don't remember how I did it. I think I used the regasm.exe tool that comes with the .NET Framework.

Hi ayhan06, in my investigations today I realised how I created the .reg file again. I used the Microsoft.NET framework too regasm.exe. You can find it in the following location:

%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[dotnetversion]\regasm.exe if you run the /? switch on it it will list the available options.

I think the command would be something like:

regasm "C:\Program Files\Navision\Client\Microsoft.Navision.Mail.DLL" \regfile:"c:\mail.reg"

This should generate the mail.reg file which can be run and will register the dll (make sure the dll is in the same directory as the Mail.DLL and make sure the .tlb is also in the same directory as the DLL.
