Like Cheeso said      You don t need the directory on your path  You could put it on your path  but you don t NEED to do that    If you are calling regasm rarely  or calling it from a batch file  you may find it is simpler to just invoke regasm via the fully-qualified pathname on the exe  eg     SystemRoot  Microsoft NET Framework v2 0 50727 regasm exe   MyAssembly dll

I really dislike the hard coding of paths to get to regasm  when you install a new  Net or run on a machine with a different version  you need to ensure you find a version of regasm  Here s a solution to find the regasm exe from the most current  Net installed regasm   Within a bat file   for  f   a in   dir  windir  Microsoft Net Framework regasm exe  s  b   do set currentRegasm    a   currentRegasm   full path to your dll   options   Outside of a bat file  i e  command prompt   just use  a instead of   a

By dragging and dropping the dll onto  regasm  you can register it  You can open two  Window Explorer  windows   One will contain the dll you wish to register   The 2nd window will be the location of the  regasm  application  Scroll down in both windows so that you have a view of both the dll and  regasm   It helps to reduce the size of the two windows so they are side-by-side  Be sure to drag the dll over the  regasm  that is labeled  application   There are several  regasm  files but you only want the application
