Hi guys,

 

I need to install a couple of COM executables and I have been trying to use
Heat (ver 3.0.4513) to extract the COM information. From what I see heat
extracts part of registry information into the fragment but the information
seems to be less than what is needed. After installation, invocation of the
COM class always fails. After I run COM_EXE_NAME /REGSERVER everything works
fine.

 

Is there a trick for extracting COM information from COM Exes using Heat?
Heat seems to work fine for COM dlls.

 

Note: I tried the .reg file to .wxs file trick using tallow 2.0.x. The
problem with that is all the paths are hard coded and it did not result in a
component getting created. I have to manually link all the registry items to
the file and the potential for errors is higher.

 

Thanks in advance

-Arun
