Yes, but tallow (used with option -reg) does not generate <Component> elements at all. All it generates are <Registry> elements which imposes manual non-intelligent work to copy/paste into a <Component> section. > This - putting the assembly in the GAC - is the recommended way of > using COM Interop, BTW. That was also the plan. Yet I intend to also ship the tlb and register the necessary COM-entries, so COM-users don't have to do anything (non COM-ish, such as regasm) and directly see the COM typelibrary when the VBA "add reference" dialog pops up. > On the other hand, if you have multiple packages shipping these > components installing into the GAC, you _must_ use the same > installer component GUIDs, for the same reason as in Rob's blog > post. Yeah, I guess this was a heavy motivator for inventing Merge Modules. Regarding creation of GUIDs for components, I made another post to this list.
