No they are not. We don't use regsvr32 to register any dlls, and there
are no registry entries in the wix for the last version of our software,
and it all worked. Trust me we don't need to make any registry entries
for the software to work. I guess I can just manually delete them from
the wxs files. I was really hoping there would be a better way though.

Typically the registry entries that get automatically generated by
heat.exe will come from your COM dlls and such, since this is the
preferred way to register a COM dll rather than calling regsvr32 on each
dll. So, whatever registry entries are being generated, are probably
needed for your installation.

Why is it exactly that you don't want it to generate the registry
values?

Thanks, I saw that already. It only gives very basic info, I was hoping
for some more in depth documentation. It would really be helpful if I
could get the wxs files create by heat without the registry entries.

I'm not sure about having heat *not* generate registry entries, but here
is an article that was written about heat that might be useful:

I want to you use heat to create the wix files for the latest version of

out there?
The problem I'm having is that heat automatically generates registry
entries for any dll in the directory, but I don't want it to. Anyone
know how to turn that off?
