Ahh, the COM+ MSI Creation Wizard... you know, I've spent years (on and off) trying to track down who owns that silly thing. I was hoping to get them to help do the right thing with COM+ in MSI. I never found them and nobody seems to understand what that Wizard thing does or how it works. I've heard that the MSIs it creates are very different looking but I don't know anything about COM+ so I wouldn't even know what I was looking at. <smile/>
I'm sorry, I just don't know much about COM+ and I don't know anybody that does COM+ except Fredrik Grohn. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jdrake Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 6:26 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Registry Issue > My apologies for not stating things more clearly, COM+ has the ability > to Export an MSI.
