Hi,
Heat (3) and Tallow (2) are not properly extracting register information
out of some DLLs/OCXs i have. Most are ok (the one made by the company i
work for) but some (made by 3rd parties) are not.
I suspect OCX/DLL compression to be the issue, but this is just a wild
guess.
Heat "goes thru" the files, but only produces "Interface" tags in the
TypeLib. Tallow, however, for some files works and some other crashes
Failed to SelfReg: ActBar.ocx
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by
the target of an invocation. --->
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT
E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

Here is one of the files on which i encounter this issue (for heat, tallow
works on this one) : http://downloads.datadynamics.com/AB2252121.zip (
ActBar2.ocx)
I could send anyone who is interested the file that cause the tallow crash,
i could not find it on the vendor's website, so i dont wanna infringe any
copyrights by making it publicly available
Would anyone have any idea about how to go and gatherer the proper infos or
know any other "Com info gatherer"?
To reproduce
Heat is used like this: Heat file ActBar2.ocx -out ActBar2.wxs
Tallow is used like this tallow.exe -s ActBar.ocx > ActBar.wxs
Thanks in advance
