Either calling regsvr32, or (more correctly and more in keeping with the
Windows Installer way of doing things) adding SelfRegCost to the appropriate
<File> element(s) and making sure that <SelfRegModules> and <SelfUnregModules>
is present where it needs to be in your InstallExecuteSequence.
I would STRONGLY recommend against doing this however. It simply doesn't work
well enough. I would choose setting binary compatibility on the VB side and
update the registry keys manually when necessary over the SelfReg option.
Regards,
Richard

When you say SelfReg, you think about call regsvr32?

Jacquet,
If you have binary compatibility enabled for the DLL then you should
only need to regenerate the registry keys if you modify the public interface.
This would probably significantly reduce the number of times you have to change
the keys in question.
You could use SelfReg... but as has already been commented on this list
many times "SelfReg is evil" (during installation, at least).
Regards,
Richard

Subject: [WiX-users] COM Registration
Hi,
Is there a way to register self-register com dll (made with VB6)
without use registry keys?
My problem is: if I modify my com dll I must generate registry keys
again...
I would like to copy dll and compile my wix files without change
anything else.
Is it possible?
