The Preload event would be best served by a BAT file that had all those commands. That way, if the BAT file works by running it standalone on a client PC, then it should work from the Preload event . Food for thought. ;-)

If you want to register a DLL, the right way is to add the DLL to the "External Files" tab and then click the "DLL/OCX" button and select the register checkbox for that DLL.

Hi Ayman;

  What you need to do in the Preload event is execute a .BAT file. That BAT file needs to be included in the "External Files" tab of the PS project. If the BAT file registers the DLL(s) properly when run "standalone" (as a quick test), it should ruin OK from the Preload event (As Admin).

Regards .... Chris

excuse me but what do you mean by run standalone

i am now writing the commands directly , is it different than putting it in a batch file?
