Summary: Quotes causing problems with COM server registration
Initial Comment:
Situation:
-- Registering a COM server with Wix source like this:
<File Id="COM_SERVER" Name="ComServer.dll" KeyPath="yes">
<TypeLib Id="TypeLib_GUID" Description="COM Server" Language="0"
MajorVersion="1" MinorVersion="0">
<Class Id="Class_GUID" Context="InprocServer32" Description="Com Server
Class" ThreadingModel="apartment">
<ProgId Id="ComServer.MainClass" Description="Com Server Class"/>
</Class>
<Interface Id="Interface_GUID" Name="_Interface"
ProxyStubClassId="Proxy_GUID" ProxyStubClassId32="Proxy32_GUID" />
</TypeLib>
</File>
so the InprocServer32 registry entry ends up like this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\Class_GUID\InprocServer32
(Default) REG_SZ "C:\InstallDirectory\ComServer.dll"
ThreadingModel REG_SZ Apartment
and the COM server does not work, but if I use regsvr32, the result is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\Class_GUID\InprocServer32
(Default) REG_SZ C:\InstallDirectory\ComServer.dll
ThreadingModel REG_SZ Apartment
and without the quotes the COM server works.
The bug might be in the COM Server, not Wix.
The workaround I found was to advertise the COM server.
