settings:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6D5C6210-E14B-11D2-B72A-0000F8026CEE}]

  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6D5C6210-E14B-11D2-B72A-0000F8026CEE}\6.0]

  @="Visual Basic objects and procedures"

  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6D5C6210-E14B-11D2-B72A-0000F8026CEE}\6.0\9]

  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6D5C6210-E14B-11D2-B72A-0000F8026CEE}\6.0\9\win32]

  @="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft eMbedded Tools\\EVB"

The Regtlib.exe file is used as follows

  regtlib [-q][-h] -o (odl file) | <typelib, olb, exe or dll filename(s)>

where:

- -q indicates to produce no messages.

- -o indicates to read an ODL file and use importlib() statements for TypeLibs
  to register.

- -h (path) directory for Help file of TypeLib.
