Currently, there is limited support for automatically registering a COM object on another machine when the DigitalMod is installed. To distribute your DigitalMod with COM object after making it, you should make sure the COM dll you are using is in the path containing your skin ("Script Project | Browse Project Folder"), then goto "Script Project | Package for Distribution" to create an SDZ package that can be imported by other for StreetDeck.

After that you must give explicit instructions for the user to run "regsvr32 <Name of your COM file>.dll" to register the COM object before importing the SDZ package.

Automatic registration of COM object is possible in version 1.0.5.5 of StreetDeck and later. To use this feature, you should create a COM sub folder in your DigitalMod's sub directory. Any dll files found in this sub directory will have regsvr32.exe run on it to register it after the sdz package has been extracted to the user's script directory. i.e. Place all your COM objects in "My Documents\StreetDeck\Scripts\<Your DigitalMod GUID>\COM" to have them register automatically with packaging.
