Martin,
This worked for me:
//make local file
var localFile =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].getService(Components.interf
aces.nsILocalFile);
//The following (registering only one component) doesn't seem to work
//localFile.initWithPath("c:\\Progra~1\\mozilla.org\\Mozilla\\components\\my
Component.dll");
//Instead, register everything
localFile.initWithPath("c:\\Progra~1\\mozilla.org\\Mozilla\\components\\");
var compman = Components.manager;
compman.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIComponentRegistrar);
var rtn = compman.autoRegister(localFile);
Note that the argument to "initWithPath" is the directory where the
components live, not a file name in that directory.
