Heat.exe needs significant work to be generally useful. However, there currently isn't an active owner so it hasn't made real progress in about a year now. It would be great if you would ensure there is a Feature Request tracking the issue if you think it is important.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Problem on Heat.exe Though I do not know the reason, I happen to found this link below, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370810(VS.85).aspx When a user uses RegAsm, he/she does not have to care where RegAsm writes to but using Heat.exe, we have to be aware of the registry location. Anyway, it is not just a simple script for me as I am using WiX 2.0: I have to change other things and add in a unique ID for every entry. I hope you can keep in view of this issue. Thank you for your time!

Should be a pretty simple script to replace "HKCR" with "HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID".

But I notice .Net COM assembly goes to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID while native COM dll goes to HKCR\CLSID . I only want the behaviour to be as close as RegAsm as possible, I believe RegAsm has a reason to do that which I do not know of.

Any plans to fix this? Or any workarounds other than manually replacing them ourselves? Thank you very much!
