I believe RegAsm registers for COM not COM+ I believe. Also, I wouldn't recommend registering COM that way, it is better to use the built-in COM elements (Class, ProgId etc.) or write the registry keys directly.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Register a .NET DLL in a COM+ Application - Could not install type library... Yes, you need to define custom action "Execute". Here is what works for me: (1)define custom action that executes RegAsm.exe; example: <CustomAction Id="ca_RegAsm_myDotNETassembly" Return="check" Execute="deferred" Directory="TARGETDIR" ExeCommand=""[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe" "[MY_APP_FOLDER]myDotNETassembly.dll" /codebase" /> (2)schedule the action (1) in your <InstallExecuteSequence>, something like this: <Custom Action=" ca_RegAsm_myDotNETassembly" Before="InstallFinalize"> <![CDATA[(&FeatureName = 3)]]> </Custom> Few notes: (a)the example uses RegAsm from framework v4 but you can modify to whatever you need (b)if you are registering your assembly in GAC you should remove /codebase from calling RegAsm (c)the example includes condition <![CDATA[(&FeatureName = 3)]]> which causes the action to be executed only when FeatureName is being installed. You can remove that if you do not need it.
