You should post the verbose log somewhere. You won't see errors if it thinks it's doing the right thing (which is not the same as what you want it to do).

How about not using self-reg & harvesting the registration info from richtx32.ocx using heat.exe? That works perfectly fine for me on all OS from XP onwards.

It would by the way would make no sense if there was one, since everything is working fine as soon as I copy a text file along with my ocx... ________________________________________ Von: Peter Shirtcliffe [pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Gesendet: Montag, 4.

Msiexec /I package.msi /l*v log.txt -----Original Message----- From: Jacob, Marcus [mailto:mja...@toptechnologies.de] Sent: 04 April 2011 08:55 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Why does my WiX 3.5 installer not copy files to system 32 dir? My WiX (3.5) installer should copy the richtx32.ocx file to the windows\system32 dir and register it by using some command line statements but it does not work. The file is not copied to the folder. <Directory Id="SystemFolder"> <Component Id="ComponentName" Guid="someGUID"> <File Source="someSourceFolder\richtx32.ocx" /> </Component> </Directory> The problem occurs on XP and also on Win7 and yes, I have started the MSI as admin user. In case the file is copied to another directory (eg. the program files directory of my application), everything works fine. The error occurs only with the system32 dir. I also tried it with another .ocx file to see whether the problems lies within the file itself, but it does not work either. BUT: If I add a "test.txt" file to the component (which btw. has some more files then only the richtx32.ocx) it suddenly works! But why does the installer only copy all files if there is a different file than .ocx/.dll?? I don't want to copy a dummy text file just to let it work... There must be a reason.
