Summary: Non-advertised Classes Add Extra Quotes in Registry
Initial Comment:
I'm new to the Windows Installer API, but I think I'm correct in reporting this
bug (at least it wouldn't work until I used Orca to fix it).
When the Compiler generates the wixobj file, the class' row in the Registry
table has a Value column encapsulated in quotation marks:
"[#FileServer]"
it should be:
[#FileServer]
The following wxs snippet produces this issue:
<File Id="Component.dll" Name="Component.dll"
KeyPath="yes" Source="Component.dll" DiskId="1">
<Class Id="GUID-HERE" Context="InprocServer32"
Description="Component Description"
ThreadingModel="apartment" Programmable="yes">
<ProgId Id="Component.ProgID"
Description="ProgID Description" />
</Class>
</File>
This results in a registry row:
Registry: reg123456789
Root: 0
Key: CLSID\GUID-HERE\InprocServer32
Name:
Value: "[#Component.dll]"
Component_: Component.dll
again Value should be:
[#Component.dll]

I've done some digging around in the previous versions of Compiler.cs and
found that these quotes have been around for ahwile. I assume the quotes
are necessary if arguments are supplied to the server, however when Excel
attempts to load my automation add-in it balks because it can't find the
component due to the quotes.
I suppose I'll need to use <RegistryValue/> elements.
