How can I hide DLL registration message window in my application?

Question

I'm registering a dll at startup of my application by this command:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("regsvr32",strPath);

and after running this line of code , a window appears that says DLL registration was successful or not .

My question is that how can I hide this window in my application?

Type regsvr32.exe /? to see command line options. – Hans Passant Jan 23 '16 at 07:59 — Hans Passant, Jan 23 '16 at 07:59

Process proc = new Process
{
    StartInfo =
    {
        FileName = "regsvr32",
        Arguments = "/s" + strPath,
        RedirectStandardError = true,
        UseShellExecute = false,
        CreateNoWindow = true
    }
};
proc.Start();

Also you can do this:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("regsvr32","/s" + strPath);

thanx, but where should I add the locationPath of DLL? – Shima.Y Jan 23 '16 at 08:19
@Shima.Y in `strPath`. (e.g) `strPath = Application.StartupPath + "//myDll.dll";` – Ghasem Jan 23 '16 at 08:36
if I define process as you said, in start method I cant pass strPath , I can just call Start() with no argument ! – Shima.Y Jan 23 '16 at 08:53
@Shima.Y What do you mean? You have to define `strPath` before you call process – Ghasem Jan 23 '16 at 08:56

Use /s – Silent; display no message boxes (added with Windows XP and Windows Vista) option.
