The Server Registration Manager Tool

The Server Registration Manager tool (srm.exe) is a standalone console application which can be used to perform administrative tasks for SharpShell, such as installing or uninstalling servers, and changing configuration.

Installing the SRM

You can get the tool from the ServerRegistrationManager NuGet Package.

It is also available in all SharpShell Releases.

Installing / Uninstalling Servers

Install:

srm install <path.dll>

Install (without using the GAC):

srm install <path.dll> -codebase

Install (with specific bitness, see Installing and Uninstalling SharpShell Servers):

srm install <path.dll> [-codebase] -os32
srm install <path.dll> [-codebase] -os64

Uninstall:

Showing SharpShell Config

SharpShell config is stored locally in the registry. It is only used for diagnostic purposes, typically SharpShell config will not be present unless diagnosing issues. Show current config with:

srm config

Setting SharpShell Config

Set SharpShell settings with the verb config:

srm config <setting> <value>

The following settings are supported:

Setting Value
LoggingMode Disabled, Debug, EventLog, File
LogPath Any file path

These configuration settings are described in more detail in the Logging Documentation. Note that logging options will normally require a restart of the explorer.exe process to take effect.
