Register (install) a DLL on Windows from the command line?

Question:

How can I register (install) a DLL on Windows from the command line?

Answer:

It is possible that your application requires this DLL to be on the search path. In this case you could move it to \Windows\System32
Or the application requires it to be in the application directory.

Now to register it, you need to move to the directory where the DLL is located and use the commandline tool RegSvr32. This tool should be on your search path (in \Windows\System32).

At the command prompt do the following:

// to register it:
regsvr32.exe  MyLibrary.dll


// if you don't like the dialog box popping up afterwards:
// option /s means 'silent'
regsvr32.exe /s MyLibrary.dll


// if you want to unregister (uninstall) it later:
regsvr32.exe /u MyLibrary.dll

// silent version
regsvr32.exe /u /s MyLibrary.dll

Is it also possible to register dlls if you are not administrator on your PC?

I am building my own dll and it has to be registered by IT support every time. But I found that if I just overwrite the dll with new versions, it often works, but not always. After a while (when too many changes are in the dll I guess), it stops working and I have to go through IT again.

Is there a way around this?

The dll is for use in excel
