If you want this assembly registered for COM interop the /tlb option by itself is insufficient. Using "full" regasm on an assembly does two main things: 1. Registers the class entries and sets the InprocServer32 to mscoree.dll. 2. Registers a type library.
Just using the /tlb option does not do 1. You can see what 1. does by using regasm with the /regfile option (and the /regfile option does not do 2). There are a couple of choices for 2. Some just generate a type library (tlbexp.exe) and register it via the type library table. Alternatively, use the Registry table to get all the HKCR\Interface and TypeLibrary entries on the system.

You need to fill in the Registry table with the appropriate values. You can use either ProgId, Class & Co. (which will fill in the Registry table behind the scenes when advertisement is turned off) or you can directly use Registry elements. Note, there is a good chance that as a .NET COM DLL you'll have a couple extra registry keys that need to be set beyond just what the ProgId and Class elements setup for you. If you are not sure what registry keys need tbe set, you can either use tallow to generate a fragment from your DLL and take a look at that, or you can use 'regasm /tlb /reg PATH.TO.commandlib.dll' to create a PATH.TO.commandlib.reg file which you can look at with a text editor to understand what needs to be set. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christer Solskogen Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 12:28 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] regasm in wix? Our application requires that one dll is registert using regasm. How do I do that in wix3? I was under the impression that just using <Typelib ...> would do it, but with the handful of things I tried I did not get it to work. <Component Id='CommandLib' Guid='a349abc4-1832-4168-a84e-e952ac0fa09f' DiskId='1'> <File Id='commandlib_dll' Name='CommandLib.dll' Source='$(var.ReleaseDir)/CommandLib.dll' Assembly='.net' AssemblyRegisterComInterop='yes' KeyPath='yes' > <TypeLib Id='23C76A21-7AEB-439c-BF85-700079E0E220' Language='1033' MajorVersion='1' MinorVersion='0'/> </File> </Component> Any pointers please?
