I have application that requires the installation of some 3rd party COM objects. I have used Heat to harvest the details from all the necessary files and after a lot of fiddling, I have managed to get the files to install and I have verified they are copied onto the HD of the target machine in the correct location. This was a challenge in itself. However, the application still fails when it runs. The error is the same as that given if the COM objects aren't installed at all. I am thus assume that my COM objects aren't being registered correctly and I am missing something. The problem is I know little about installing COM objects other than the need to be registered so I am not sure where to begin. One thing I did do was to compare the MSI files of a working installation created by Installshield for a previous version and the Wix generated one using Orca. Straight away, I noticed the working install has a class table and relatively few registry entries but the Wix has no class table and a large amount of registry entries. I don't know if this is relevant or not. I am now stumped as I do not know how to proceed. Can anyone offer suggestions?
