3.  I agree, if the CustomAction calls SelfReg on the DLL that sounds bad.
Unfortunately, I know of no teams inside Microsoft using the COM+
CustomActions.  The only person I know that knows anything about COM+ is
fregro.

3. That's is odd to me, the custom action part, because the COM+ Exported
Installers use a whole different set of tables to do their installations.
Also this cutom action does a Self Register, which is a big no-no from
everything that I have read, both on the WiX side, and the MS documentation,
so how could this component be accepted into the WiX codebase, if it
violates the basic tennents that WiX and MS set for installations. I
understand that you personally do not have the expertise, but isn't there
someone else inside MS willing to contribute to this product, and if so many
teams are using this, surely one of them has run into these issues.  Any
chance you could ask around?  I doubt that I am the only one in this
situation.

Thanks,
Joshua
