RegSpy2 may be able to help. See http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/tips.htm about 1/3 down the page. It'll output a .reg file which you run through tallow.exe to output WiX code.
However I would ask the vendor of this adxloader.dll for support first.

You'll need to convert the output to WiX, but at least you'll see everything that is written. Just set the filter to procname="regsvr32", and only watch the registry.
