Thank you Doug!

Can you give me an example?

The Firefox distribution doesn't include this tool in the bin directory.

Yes, xpinstall copies the native dll + xpt file into the components
directory.
But nothing gets registered after performInstall(). Compreg.dat and xpti.dat
are not updated!

Yes I will try this way. I now learned how to pass a valid nsIFile object
(the xpt file) to autoregister.
But it gives me NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED. If I pass
autoRegister(null) nothing happens. I expected that all components will be
reregistered according the documentation.
How can I register my component by code?

netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
var compman=Components.manager;
compman.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIComponentRegistrar);
var file =
Components.classes['@mozilla.org/file/local;1'].createInstance(Components.in
terfaces.nsILocalFile);
file.initWithPath("C:\\Programme\\Mozilla
Firefox\\components\\nsISample.xpt");
compman.autoRegister(file);
