A type library is almost exactly what it sounds like. It is a library
(i.e. can be referenced by a development tool such as Visual Studio)
containing information about COM (and possibly other, I haven't really
investigated) types.
Typically, type libraries have a .tlb extension. Visual Studio generates
the files for you automatically (yup, even from VB).
This is likely to not be helpful in resolving the problem you described
in your earlier post, since unless you are maintaining binary
compatibility (and possibly even if you are) I believe the type library
version number generated by VB will change with each build and you would
still have to update the WiX source file. Granted, the modification
would probably be easier, but you would still have to make it. You may
also still have to extract the child interface information and add
authoring for that (and again, unless you are maintaining binary
compatibility the child interface details may change with each build).
Regards,
Richard
