We use an MMC snap-in in one of our applications. I may be simplifying
this too much, but entry point to a Snap-In is the .MSC file. We deposit
the .MSC in the Deploy directory of choice and create a shortcut to the
.MSC.
<Component Id="DeployMSCComp"
Guid="1ED23462-B5B7-42af-B86A-BF4CB1E86BB6">
<File Id="DeployMSC" Name="INTERL~1.MSC"
LongName="Interlinq E3 Deployment Manager.msc" src=".\Data\Interlinq E3
Deployment Manager 2.6.msc" Vital="yes" KeyPath="yes" DiskId="1">
<Shortcut Id="DeployMSCShortCut"
Directory="MENUINTERLINQ" Name="E3Depl~2" LongName="Interlinq E3
Deployment Manager" Icon="DEPLOYICON" IconIndex="0" Show="normal"
WorkingDirectory="DEPLOYDIR" />
</File>
</Component>
The rest of the supporting DLLs and scripts, etc. that are needed by the
Snap-In also go in the same folder and a registry key association is
made to the resource dll that references the MSC file.
<File Id="E3DeployManagerResources_Dll" Name="E3R~1.dll"
LongName="E3DeployManagerResource.dll"
src=".\Data\E3DeployManagerResource.dll" Vital="yes" DiskId="1"/>
<Registry Id="DeployLocationKey" Root="HKCU"
Key="Software\HarlandFS\E3Deploy" Name="MSC" Value="[#DeployMSC]"
Type="string"/>

OK, I got the extension name, but:
None of the WiX v3 packages contains WixMMCExtension, I only found it in
v2, but v3 does not load v2 extensions (Error The extension
'C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\WixMMCExtension.dll'
could not be loaded. candle.exe)
Anybody has a working example for Snap-in deployment?
Thanks!

There is an extension in WiX v3 that handles much of the authoring work
for you.
