Thank you for the hint,
There is some documentation for the packing, if for eg i want to
change some implementation in v box or add a new feature/ add a new dll?
There is not much documentation about packing as it's impossible to
predict what someone wants to change. The whole packing logic is in
src/VBox/Installer/win/Makefile.kmk, which produces some input files
(wxl/wxi, mostly for localization which isn't easy to hardcode) for the
standard command line tools (WiX) which produce msi files. After that
there's quite some msi magic and an exe wrapper to produce combined
32/64 bit packages and the like.
Generally, the starting point for the msi packaging is VirtualBox.wxs
and the various .wxi files. Find some similar file and see how it's
handled by these files...
Klaus
thank you

Hello,
I build vbox sources on a x86 machine, under win 7. On my machine,
the binaries build from sources
from: VirtualBox-4.3.0\out\win.x86\release\bin\VirtualBox.exe work
fine, opens a virtual box.
But when I'm moving the bin folder to another pc(a clean win 8 x86
machine) i get this error:
"Failed to create VirtualBox COM object, the application will now
terminate"
Details: "Callee RC: REGDB_E_CLASSNORTEG(0x80040154)"
And the VirtualBox.exe does not open.
I tried:
1. moved all qt related dlls and curl related dlls to the new clean
PC(win 8 x86)(dlls requested when tried to open virualbox.exe)
2. registered dlls with: comregister.cmd and loadall.cmd
Are you running comregister.cmd as Admin? If you don't then it can't
make the necessary changes to the registry. In general I don't think
anyone routinely uses your approach to build vbox on one PC to move it
to another. It doesn't need much more time to create an installation
package using "kmk packing", and use that to install vbox...
Klaus
still does not work
Does anybody have an idea?
Thank you
