As Neil's reply is actually a solution to my other post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09440.htm
l
I thought I'd restate _this_ problem, which remains unsolved.
The problem here is that I run heat.exe on a VB6 DLL that I authored, as
a way to generate a *.wxs file containing a <FRAGMENT> with all the COM
registration muck I need to install and register that DLL. The problem
is that the output *.wxs contains errors that prevent me from building.
See my enumeration of errors 1, 2, 3 at the bottom of this thread.
Any thoughts? These errors refer to a class and typelibs that are part
of VB6 itself, not my DLL, and yet heat.exe emits (erroneous,
incomplete?) metadata about them when I point it at my DLL.
Thanks, all - I'm almost there! Mark

It looks like this has come up before:

I found I needed to add:
<EnsureTable Id="Registry" />
<EnsureTable Id="Class" />
<EnsureTable Id="ProgId" />
<EnsureTable Id="Extension" />
<EnsureTable Id="MIME" />
<EnsureTable Id="Verb" />

I can't help but I see exactly the same errors. As a work around
I am ignoring the ICE03 errors but I am not sure this is a good move.
Hopefully someone else will enlighten us.

yes, that is precisely the source of the merge modules I
describe in my original post. thanks.
since that post, I have tried running smoke.exe on a few of
those merge modules, which results in all the errors I am seeing in my
build. I take that to mean that the modules are somehow 'bad'. Can
anyone explain why?

It might be easier to use the VB6 merge modules from

Subject: [WiX-users] Heat and vb6 dll?
I ran heat.exe on a COM dll created in VB6, to
automagically get a fragment of all the stuff necessary to register my
DLL on installation. When I try to build the project, I get 3 errors on
the output *.wxs that heat.exe gave me:
1) Error CNDL0010: The Class/@Server attribute was not
found; it is required. This is referring to the following element:
<Class Id="{D5DE8D20-5BB8-11D1-A1E3-00A0C90F2731}"
Context="InprocServer32" Description="VBPropertyBag"
ThreadingModel="apartment" />
2) Error CNDL0047: The TypeLib element is non-advertised
and therefore requires a parent File element. This is referring to the
following element:
<TypeLib Id="{000204EF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
Description="Visual Basic For Applications" Language="9"
MajorVersion="6" MinorVersion="0">
3) another one like (2), referring to:
<TypeLib Id="{EA544A21-C82D-11D1-A3E4-00A0C90AEA82}"
Description="Visual Basic runtime objects and procedures" Hidden="yes"
Language="9" MajorVersion="6" MinorVersion="0">
Can anyone elaborate? Am I missing something?
Thanks, Mark
