I thought you were registering a DLL file using regsvr32. I didn't realize that

Thank you for your reply. I'm not sure you understand how we are doing this,

includes the lines:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe" /unregserver
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe" /regserver
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\winword.exe" /r

to ensure 2003 Word and Excel files open with 2003. When these lines run,
the Windows dialog box with the message "Installing Excel 2003...." pops up
and then closes when install is complete. Is there a way to suppress that
dialog box just for these commands in the BAT file?
