1. Add a setup / deployment project to the .NET project.
2. Build it, yeilding an .MSI
3. Run dark against it, and pull out the necessary fragment for the .tlb and associated .dll:

.tlb files aren't supported yet. I thought those were usually compiled into a .dll or other file when shipped to the customer. Do you ship the .tlb as part of your setup? Does the .tlb register a separate .dll file in the actual registry keys?

As of last week's release, .tlb files didn't work either....although I didn't verify that it was already registered prior to harvesting, as I believe that's a pre-req?

Hehe, alright, I just fixed it. This should be in the next WiX 3.0 release.

Some of my installation components use DirectShow filters... (*.ax files).. when i try to harvest them with heat the class information + registry information is not extracted. I suspect this is due to a wildcard filter which is not classifying .ax files as possible candidates for COM objects...
i tried simply renaming the file to a .dll and it is harvested properly then.. .ocx files are also ok.
