How to register a com interface exposed by a .net exe?

Question

I have a .net exe (sent to me, I didn't write it) that exposes a com interface.

I need to register it so I can see it in the list of available activex interfaces from delphi ide.

I need to do something like

registerinterface.exe file.exe

where of course registerinterface.exe is a placeholder for the real thing.

May you jelp me?

Use regasm.exe [pathtoexecutable] . Regasm is in the .NET Framework installation directory. Note that the assembly will have to have a strong name, otherwise you will get an error.

Make sure to do this from an elevated command prompt if you are using Windows Vista / 7 if UAC is enabled.
