I am making an installer for an Outlook vb6 COM addin. The addin consists
of 7 COM assemblies that need to be copied to the target machine and then
have regsvr32 called on each assembly. I have read that calling out to
regsvr32.exe from the msi is not recommended and instead you should manually
create the registry keys needed for each assembly.
The problem is that when I run heat.exe on my main assembly, it only
generates a <TypeLib> wix element, not everything that is needed to
registry the assembly as an Outlook addin. When I manually run regsvr32
after installation, then the assembly is correctly added to Outlook. I
can't locate all the steps necessary to property register an assembly as an
Outlook addin, so I can't do it manually at this point.
I have scoured the internet looking for someone else who has done this, but
I can't find anyone. Does anyone have experience in making Outlook (or
Office) addin installers? Thanks
