RAS Administration DLL Registry Setup

The setup program for a third-party RAS administration DLL must register the DLL with RAS by providing information under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RAS\AdminDll

To register the DLL, set the following values under this key.

Value Name
Value Data
DisplayName
A REG_SZ string that contains the user-friendly display name of the DLL.
DLLPath
A REG_SZ string that contains the full path of the DLL.

For example, the registry entry for a RAS Administration DLL from a fictional company named Netwerks Corporation might be:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RAS\AdminDll

DisplayName : REG_SZ : Netwerks RAS Admin DLL

DLLPath : REG_SZ : C:\nt\system32\ntwkadm.dll

The setup program for a RAS Administration DLL should also provide remove/uninstall functionality. If a user removes the DLL, the setup program should delete the DLL's registry entries.
