How do I register DirectX plugins?

Post by MrHope » Mon Jan 07, 2008 12:22 am

How do I register DirectX plugins with Windows so that they are recognized by my Sequencer programs? I used to use the DirectX Manager from AnalogX.com, but it doesn't work in Vista.

With DirectX Manager I could register or remove from Windows registration any DirectX plugins bu just dragging them onto the manager program.

Is there something else I can use that does the same thing?

OK, I figured out the solution:

Follow these steps to register (DirectX) DLLs (or OCX's):

1. On the Taskbar, select Start > Run.
2. In the Open field, type regsvr32 "<path>\NameOfFile.extension", where <path> is the directory where the file is located on your computer and NameOfFile.extension is the name of the file. For example: regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\ReverbDirectX.dll"
3. Press Enter.

To unregister/remove a DirectX DLL, type regsvr32 /u "<path>\NameOfFile.extension"
