I was able to figure the syntax and execute but this is works only for
install and uninstall. It does not have a repair option and hence the files
do get overwritten with the XML stuff:(

Thanks Bob.
Please do let me know the XmlConfig syntax.
Currently in my files the values I have set during first-install are
overwritten in "Repair" mode with blank values. I would not like to execute
the XMLFile statements again in repair mode.

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.

In my experience I have found you need to remove the detritus that

Thanks Bob, but I still don't know how to refer to so many components created

ComponentRef and Feature cannot be part of a module.

If you are not pre-populating the properties, you can use the following
conditions:
WORDFIND
EXCELFIND
If you are pre-populating with say a value of 0, then you could use the
following conditions:

Sadly (and Rob M has commented on this several times) the VB Team seem
to feel that generating "correct" merge modules is not a priority. (For
them, perhaps it's not, but for those of us who live in the real world
where VB6 applications are still very much in use it does make things
challenging.)
Rob has a blog entry about this.
