/i[:Arguments] Calls a special function within the COM server named DllInstall. You may
optionally pass command line arguments. The server vendor provides you with a list of command
line arguments that you can pass the COM server.
/n Suppresses the call to the standard DllRegisterServer function within the COM server. This
special function normally registers the server for you, making all of the required registry entries.
You can only use this command line switch with the /i switch.
352 CHAPTER 13 MANAGING APPLICATIONS
Managing Compatibility Databases with SDBInst
The SDBInst utility helps you manage and maintain application databases. In fact, these databases
often support application patches. Microsoft often uses the SDBInst utility to provide patches for
all their products including Office and Windows. As an example of one of these patches (and there
are many) check the Knowledge Base article at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=328597.
Lest you think that this utility is a Microsoft invention, check the MySQL Web site at http://
dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/1f/906b3c12904d04e10000000a114084/content.htm. You??™ll
notice that not only does SDBInst have a place in other vendor application deployments, it exists on
both the Windows and the Linux platforms (as shown by the instructions for both platforms on the
Web site) as well.
