The problem with the way of working in the question is in finding the correct location of RegAsm. Thanks to the comment of Hans Passant to use RegistrationService.RegisterAssembly I changed the ClassLibrary into a self-registering executable.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length != 1)
{
ShowHelpMessage();
return;
}
if (args[0].CompareTo("/register") == 0)
{
Assembly currAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var rs = new RegistrationServices();
if (rs.RegisterAssembly(currAssembly, AssemblyRegistrationFlags.SetCodeBase))
{
Console.WriteLine("Succesfully registered " + currAssembly.GetName());
} else
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to register " + currAssembly.GetName());
}
return;
}
if (args[0].CompareTo("/remove") == 0)
{
Assembly currAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var rs = new RegistrationServices();
if (rs.UnregisterAssembly(currAssembly))
{
Console.WriteLine("Succesfully removed " + currAssembly.GetName());
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to remove " + currAssembly.GetName());
}
return;
}
ShowHelpMessage();
}
