Hey,
I have an Installsh
WixComPlusExtension to both candle and light on
the command line using the -ext option. In v3 you only need specify the
assembly name, unlike v2.
Any error messages produced?

I've completely switched to Foxit Reader (www.foxitsoftware.com). Not a fan
of Adobe Reader at all. Very slow to load even after the 'optimisation'
application is launched at system startup (which basically just preloads all
the DLLs), and still pretty buggy.

pass all the ICE validation)" for information on how to do this.

rate type library is actually required for marshalling
calls to a .NET COM component. It may be required if you want to write
unmanaged COM clients against the library, for example with VB6. It
shouldn't go in the GAC and I would make it a separate Component of its own.

external file named
application.exe.manifest. This lists the assemblies that your application
uses (and in Windows Vista, how you want UAC to behave).

there's any built-in property that does what you want. If you really want to
do this you'll need to build a custom action.

I realize th

redistributable for all versions of Windows since 1995 (Windows 95, NT 4.0
and later).

I can only conclude that it's some library routine that's being called from
your DllRegisterServer (or DllMain) which can't find its settings. This may
be due to the rarified environment that Tallow supplies to the routine.
