For describe, more detail example : Third party product install to GAC assembly AssemblyX.dll. AssemblyX.dll contain interface IAssemblyX. My product contain assembly MyAssembly.dll and MyAssembly.TLB, install MyAssembly to GAC and install as COM+. MyAssembly.dll contain COM+ object, that inherit interface IAssemblyX from AssemblyX.

Right. In my modified COM+ CA code i use RegistrationHelper.InstallAssembly() without flag ExpectExistingTypeLib and without TLB file.

[WiX-users] Install .Net COM+ without .TLB
Wix COM+ CA (pcaexec) does not allow to install COM+ .Net assembly without TLB file, but basically it possible. In some situations COM+ assembly depend of external interfaces of another .Net assemblies. It required more than one .TLB file to install COM+ assembly, but WiX allow set only one TLB file for 'ComPlusAssembly' element. I suggest to optional set attribute 'TlbPath' at 'ComPlusAssembly' element. If 'TlbPath' attribute absent, then use method, that install assembly without TLB (internally generated tlb). Same method used by regsvcs.exe .Net utility. I can send simply modified code of ca\pubca\pcaexec\cpiasmexec.cpp, that install .Net COM+ without TLB file. It code already work properly during 2-3 monthes in our products installers. P.S. It all about Wix2 (i think in Wix3 similar) -- Alexander Biryukov - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] How to show "FilesInUse" dialog _always_ ?
It's good, but how to catch "file in use" moment (before any file copy

Maybe somehow that :
MyFileInUseCheck is custom action, that check file and show FilesInUse
dialog, when file locked.
It will work ?

In the near future we are going to use WiX for authoring a large installer with supporting: - GAC (install .Net 1.1 components) - Windows Services - COM+ components - Message Queues (MSMQ) - Web Services - Creating IIS web site How much the risk of use WiX 3 Beta, unlike WiX 2 Release ?
