Self reg is strongly discouraged and ordering the components is not supported. WiX will create the rows in random order, MSI can execute them in whatever order it wants. The best way to handle your scenario is to pull all the registration from the dll files upfront using either tallow or heat. Otherwise, you'll need to solve this issue with custom actions (and there's a really good chance of introducing bugs when doing that).

My product setup includes MSM with specific runtime environment. I want be sure that components from that MSM are installed first. More over, this MSM have self-registered COM components and they must be registered in predefined order. (I know that self-registration is very not recommended) I also want to know what defines order of components installation. Is it the order of appearance in MSI DB? If it is so, does the order of components in WiX code affect the order in the compiled DB? Best regards, Peter G.
