Thank you for this explanation. To make the solution easier to find for others possibly having the same problem, here is what to do:
HEAT.exe file my.ocx -out my.wxs That will create a file my.wxs containing the necessary WiX commands to register the OCX. Compile it and then link it with the rest of our installer. I wonder why this simple instruction is not found in the manual or tutorial. ;-) Regards Markus > -----Original Message----- > From: DEÁK JAHN, Gábor [mailto:d...@tramontana.co.hu] > Sent: Montag, 29.
