The proper approach would be to not use regsvr32 to register DLL's & OCXs & author the registration info yourself. If you want to make this a lot simpler, use heat.exe to generate the Class, TypeLib & Interface elements for you instead of having reams of RegistryValues -> http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/heat.htm

Subject: [WiX-users] Registering files Hi Steven, Approaching again for help :-) I have 2 issues regarding registering the installation files in the registry a)The installer has around 400+ components(dll's and ocx's) which has to registered, am using the <RegistryValue root= ; key= ;action="write" /> for all the 400+ files and its getting successfully registered at the specified root/key but the issue is its taking a very long time ----instead of the above approach can i loop thro the 400+ files and use regsvr32.exe to register , let me know which is the best and fast approach b)I have a file(*.ocx) which has to be registered at 3 location in the registry (HKLM,HKCU,HKCR) but my InstallScope="perMachine" am getting an error while build wwhich says that "both perUser and PerMachine can't be set to file Kindly share your expertise Thanks and Regards Ravi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
