<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" />
