how do you register a .net com interoperable object in a computer?

Assuming Visual Studio...\n1.Add a COM object to your Visual Studio deployment project.\n2.In the Solution Explorer, right-click the module that you just added, and then click Properties.\n\nNOTE: The Properties window contains a table with two columns and x number of rows (the number of rows depends on the project). The left column lists the specific properties. The right column is explained in step 4.\n3.Go to Properties for this module (located by default in the upper-right corner of the .NET Deployment project), and then click Registry property.\n\nNOTE: The Registry property specifies whether a file, assembly, or project output group should be registered on a target computer during installation.\n4.There is a list box in the right column of the Registry property, which displays several options for you to choose from. Note the following details for an explanation of these options:\n\n \n•For assembly, registration is not normally required, and therefore the default is DoNotRegister (this means that the item will not be registered during the installation).\n\n•For a COM module, you have the options of COM, COMRelativePath, and COMSelfReg. Any one of those three options will register the COM module during the installation.\n\nNote the following details about each choice:\na. COM: The module will be registered as a COM object by the Windows Installer engine. The deployment project will update the Class table, ProgID table, and other tables in the Registry Tables group of the corresponding .msi file. This is the recommended way to register a COM module.\nb. COMRelativePath: The module will be registered as an isolated COM object by the Windows Installer engine. Note that this module will be used only by the application that the module is installed with.\nc. COMSelfReg: The installer calls the DllRegisterServer function of that module at the time that you install the module and the DllUnregisterServer function at the time that you uninstall the module. The deployment project will update the SelfReg table of the corresponding .msi file. It is not recommended that the installation package use self-registration. Instead, the installation package should register modules by authoring one or more of the other tables provided by the installer for this purpose (that is, select the COM or COMRelativePath options). Many of the benefits of having a central installer service are lost with self-registration, because self-registration routines tend to hide critical configuration information.\nYou can now build your deployment project to allow the preceding modifications to register your COM objects in accordance with the registration property options that you selected in step 4.

There is registry manager software distributed with windows.  The executable is called regedit.exe; it doesn't get any better than that.

Download Microsoft's PowerToys. It has an option for doing just that sort of thing. (Other than that, it's a registry hack.)

Get an external registry editor like registrar it's much more powerful than the microsoft default one. \n\nGet it here http://www.resplendence.com/download/rrtri.exe

You just need to have it start a process and pass it the URL you want it to open up. This will allow the computer to pick the program to open it up, whether it be firefox, IE or whatever.\n\nHere is the basics...\n\nPrivate Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal_\ne As System.Windows.Forms. LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs )_\nHandles LinkLabel1. LinkClicked\nSystem.Diagnostics.Process.Start( "www.startvbdotnet.com" )\n'using the start method of system.diagnostics.process class\n'process class gives access to local and remote processes\nEnd Sub\n\nNotice the system.diagnostics.process.start method. \n\nEnjoy!

Each computer where the common language runtime is installed has a machine-wide code cache called the global assembly cache. The global assembly cache stores assemblies specifically designated to be shared by several applications on the computer.\n\nAs a general rule, the Windows Registry is considered legacy within .NET and XCOPY deployment is highly encouraged, which in turn implies building assemblies that are private to a program’s main executable. Yet, there is a definite need for a central repository for .NET System assemblies as well as other user created Shared assemblies and it is this very need which is addressed by the GAC.\n\n it is important to understand the concept of Identity as it pertains to a .NET Assembly. An Assembly’s identity includes its simple textual name, a version number, an optional culture if the assembly contains localized resources, and an optional public key used to guarantee name uniqueness and to protect the name from unwanted reuse (name spoofing). An assembly with a simple Identity includes just the mandatory simple textual name and version number components. Since the GAC is the machine-wide repository for shared assemblies, it is very easy to run into the problem of name collisions if these assemblies only had simple identities because they are developed independently by different vendors and even developers within your own organization. Hence it is mandatory that every shared assembly installed in the GAC have a Strong Name. The formal definition of the term in the online documentation is\n\nA strong name consists of the assembly's identity — its simple text name, version number, and culture information (if provided) — plus a public key and a digital signature. It is generated from an assembly file (the file that contains the assembly manifest, which in turn contains the names and hashes of all the files that make up the assembly), using the corresponding private key.

to the .exe file, go to it's property and there's a option that you can set it up for older versions of windows. If there isn't Dos, then put NT/98.

There is no such thing as an Abstract Interface.\n\nInterfaces are not supported with (ISO) C++. You should use an abstract class with only virtual methods.\n\nA .tlb file is (I'm guessing) a Type Library. These are used with COM/ActiveX controls. \n\nType of Visual Studio project: .... a C++ project I guess\n\nIf you are using managed C++, you can just add a reference to the COM object, which should add a RCW you can use (a wrapper around the object referenced). This will do most housekeeping for COM/ActiveX objects for you.

you neded to add a WebBrowserControl object to your form.\nDepending on the version of visual studio you use you may need to do some extra steps:\n\nTo add the Web browser control to a project, right-click the Toolbox and choose Customize Toolbox. Then select the COM Components tab, and check the Microsoft Web Browser control (shdocvw.dll). This will add the control to your Toolbox. When you drop this control onto a form, the necessary interop assemblies will be generated and added to your project.\n\n\nWhen using the Web browser, you'll commonly use these methods:\n\n* Navigate redirects the page to the URL you specify.\n\n* GoBack and GoForward navigate to pages in the history list.\n\n* GoHome navigates to the home page set on the current computer, and GoSearch shows the search page.\n\n\n\nIn addition, the user will be able to trigger page navigation by clicking page links (if they exist). You can retrieve the current URL from the LocationURL property and determine if the control is still rendering the page by examining the Busy property. In addition, you can react to a variety of events, including ones that fire when navigation starts and stops.

I don't think there is a way even if you install in a different folder. That is because the install program updates OLE entries in the registry and you can have only one application/component registered for a specific action. If you want to test/review the beta version, I think the best approach is to build a virtual machine with Ms Virtual PC or VMWare and install the beta there.
