[WiX-users] WIX: COM registration does not work with UAC
Hello All, I'm using Heat.exe to get registration information for my libraries and include this info in my Wix code. The registration works fine on machines when UAC is off, but it doesn't work on machines where UAC is on. This happens even if I run my msi as administrator(from bootstrapper or cmd) Does anyone have an idea why does it happen?

Re: [WiX-users] WIX: COM registration does not work with UAC
You should never count on regsvr32.exe running as a deferred custom action from a MSI. Is this COM component truly a shared component? If so then I would think it should not be installed as a per user package. If you simply have a one or more executables in the same install using this component, then I would opt for registration free COM via embedding a manifest into the EXE's which are consuming the COM DLL. For the underlying cause of the error, you didn't say anything about what dependencies your COM DLL has. Was it written in VB6, VC++ using ATL? I seem to remember both having issues as a VB6 COM DLL will rely on the VB6 Runtime being registered, and for C++ COM DLL's using ATL the proper ATL.dll must also be registered. -Original Message- From: vasjko [mailto:vas...@ua.fm] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 3:50 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
