Registering every *.DLL required? or possible?
Assume I have (under 64bit Win 7) a big program installation with one main *.exe file and lots of *.dlls.
It seems to me that some but not all of these *.dlls need a registration (by regsvr32) which is done typically at installation time.
Some other *.dlls seem to need NO such registration but are accessed dynamically from the program on-demand.
So are there two such types of *.dlls ?
How do I find out which type of DLL lets say myspecial.dll is?
Now lets say that I got an older installation on an USB flash drive.
I have not the original installation setup package.
In order to make it runnable some of these DLLs must be registered now, afterwards.
Can I just register all of them by simply entering:
regsvr32 myspeciallib1.dll
regsvr32 myspeciallib2.dll
...
regsvr32 myspeciallib9.dll
?
Does it hurt if a DLL which is actually not designed for registration is registered anyway?
I am interested only in DLL handling. Other possible issues like missing Registry entries shouldn't be discussed here.
Thank you
