Thanks for this, it looks interesting. All the code for parsing the file is in
tallow so I’ll probably stick with that.

Registry remapping is process-wide only, so you need to inject a thread in
regedit.exe process to set it up.
Here is a modified version of tallow that we use to harvest out-of-process COM
registration:

Basicly it uses a helper RegRedir.dll that sets remapping on DllLoad.

Subject: Re: [WiX-devs] Harvesting a registry file
I thought I had a really simple solution but at the moment it doesn’t work. My
theory was that the registry remapping would capture running “regedit /s
data.reg” but it doesn’t seem to. There are no APIs to read a reg file that I
can find. I suspect the remapping will only work in process.
My next attempt is to process the file line by line either using the tallow
code or with some code I have written before.
I will keep working on this but if you get a solution could you let me know.
Thanks

There could be a relatively simple way to handle this issue using what is
already in place. I am on the hook to try and fix a couple bugs, I will look at
this too for the 3.5 date.

A common request in the mail list seems to be the lack of support for
harvesting a registry file in the same way that tallow did. I think I can add
this to heat fairly easily because most of the code for generating the fragment
is already in heat. My question is would this be accepted in to the main WiX 3
code base or should I write it as an extension and publish if via my blog or
some other means?
It seems like a good idea; just realize that WiX v3.5 is heading toward
lockdown so timing is tight.
