Thanks Rob, your suggestion was very helpful. I have to add InstallFiles
element in InstallExecuteSequence to fix my problem, otherwise it will register
the dll before it copy to the target machine.
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<InstallFiles />
<SelfRegModules />
<SelfUnregModules />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Thank you very much

1. SelfReg is bad. If possible, I'd highly recommend using the built in
tables instead.
2. If you didn't create the Merge Module, it's possible it does not include
its required actions. In this case, you'd need to add the <SelfRegModules/>
and <SelfUnRegModules/> elements (no attributes necessary) to your
<InstallExecuteSequence/> element.

Subject: [WiX-users] Unable to register COM dll in Merge Module
Hello everyone,
I'm try to compile a msm(Merge Module) into my existing MSI installer. In this
msm file only got two files(1 xml and 1 dll COM). This msm suppose to install
the files in the target machine and registr(regsvr32) the COM dll. I used the
following scripts to create the msi. The files get installed in target machine
but the COM dll not get register. I try to use the same msm file to create
another MSI installer in VS 2005, all files get installed and the COM dll get
registered. Am I missed something?
