Re: [WiX-users] self-registering
I'm trying to package a legacy program that registers some third-party ocx and dlls. I see that the consensus is that I should be handling this with a registry component. However, this application's 'installer' just copies stuff into a folder off the root of c:\ and runs a 'register.bat' to regsvr32 /s each necessary item. In this case, is there really any downside to making the files self-register? For me the real problems with self-registration came when my components had dependencies on C++ runtimes, that were not available at the point at which I was trying to run the self-registration.

Re: [WiX-users] Self-registering : what is the good method?
The best solution is to extract the information with tallow or heat and specify the correct table entries. Try to avoid selfreg where possible. Rob [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi all, i have to register a dll inside my msi. i've seen that the table selfreg can do that BUT i've also seen another method by using customaction calling msiexec /y to reg (and /z to unreg). what is the better solution? thanks in advance -- - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
