WiX prefers to register COM objects using the registry, because the "native" COM tables in MSI lead to weird user experiences when MSI wants to repair. The effect should be the same, however. For comparing the two, you can tell WiX to use the COM tables by specifying Advertised='yes' in each element. Likely Heat is missing registration that's needed. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
