It looks like it failed even before that as I don't even seen the
CLSID-20DOE... entry in the registry.
Here is the main WXS file that the fragment is compiled with - maybe that will
show what the real reason is:

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Problem with registering COM dll
I see that the use of [INSTALLDIR] in the registry entry - perhaps edited by
hand? - does not match the the TARGETDIR DirectoryRef.
This is not guaranteed to be an error, e.g. if you've ensured that the two
properties are equal, but it seems fragile.
You can check the installed registry entries to see if they have the full path
to WelcomeCOM.dll, or just the filename alone, to know if this is causing an
error.
Daryn.

Subject: [WiX-users] Problem with registering COM dll
I'm trying to register a COM component and followed the instruction on the
tutorial - running tallow -c WelcomeCOM.dll.
However, it does not appear to be successfully registering the object.
The tallow outputs:
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR">

Source="WelcomeCOM.dll" />
...
<Registry Root="HKCR"

...
<Registry Root="HKCR"

...
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>
</Wix>
Any suggestion?
