Why register?
Registering a DLL is a typical technical process for using advanced third-party libraries in a system. This process ensures that the instance of the component (Excel Lab) can be created or launched.
The process adds information to a central directory for use by Microsoft. The registered information typically includes a friendly name of the component, which makes it easier to use from within other programs (i.e. Microsoft Excel), the full path to the library of functions, and any other relevant resources.
Typically, an installer package should take care of this for you with no guarantee of success.
We recommend explicitly executing this step as a prudent measure for ensuring a successful installation.
