Installs or removes .NET Services.
This tasks provides the same functionality as the regsvcs tool
provided in the .NET SDK.
It performs the following actions:
-
Loads and registers an assembly.
-
Generates, registers, and installs a type library into a specified COM+ application.
-
Configures services that are added programmatically to your class.
Refer to the .NET Services Installation Tool (Regsvcs.exe) for more information.

| Attribute |
Type |
Description |

|
line |
string |
List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable
as is.
|
False

Nested elements
Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures

Examples
A single command-line argument containing a space character.
<arg value="-l -a" />
Two separate command-line arguments.
<arg line="-l -a" />
A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3
on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3 on Unix-like systems.
<arg path="/dir;/dir2:\dir3" />
<arg>
Examples
Adds all public classes contained in myTest.dll to a COM+
application and produces the myTest.tlb type library. If the
application already exists, it is overwritten.
<regsvcs action="FindOrCreate" assembly="myTest.dll" />
Adds all public classes contained in myTest.dll to myTargetApp
and produces the myTest.tlb type library. If the application already
exists, it is overwritten.
<regsvcs action="FindOrCreate" assembly="myTest.dll" application="myTargetApp" />
Adds all public classes contained in myTest.dll to a COM+
application and produces the myTest.tlb type library. A new
application is always created.
<regsvcs action="Create" assembly="myTest.dll" />
Uninstalls the COM+ application contained in myTest.dll.
<regsvcs action="Uninstall" assembly="myTest.dll" />
