You can do this with actions in the Script Editor. This article provides some examples of how to do this.

Registering OLE Server Applications

In the Execute Program action item in the Script Editor, enter in the following fields:

   EXE PATH: %MAINDIR%\yourappname.exe
   COMMAND LINE: /REGSERVER

Registering a Third-Party OCX

The easiest way to do this is to use the Self Register OCXs/DLLs action item in the Script Editor to have Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer register these files automatically. Another option is to manually include Regsvrocx.exe with your installation, and use the Execute Program action item in the Script Editor. Use the following example as a model for your own installation:

   EXE PATH: %TEMP%\regsvrocx.exe
   COMMAND LINE: %SYS%\example.ocx
