Installing Windows shell extension DLL with Inno Setup installer

I'm developing a shell extension DLL. I want to install it using Inno Setup installer. I seen installers that ask, if I wanted to install shell extension with the program, I would like something similar using Inno Setup installer. How do I go about doing this?

If not, would you be able to direct me to the right path. I been searching for days about any info about this.

The shell extension is just a DLL with a COM class. So just deploy it and register it using the regserver flag:

[Files]
Source: "myext.dll"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: regserver

See also Register Explorer COM extension only if specific task was selected.
