Try running heat on a directory (not just a file) that contains all the
assemblies you need to register.

I am making an installer for an Outlook vb6 COM addin. The addin
consists of 7 COM assemblies that need to be copied to the target
machine and then have regsvr32 called on each assembly. I have read
that calling out to regsvr32.exe from the msi is not recommended and
instead you should manually create the registry keys needed for each
assembly.
The problem is that when I run heat.exe on my main assembly, it only
generates a <TypeLib> wix element, not everything that is needed to
registry the assembly as an Outlook addin. When I manually run
regsvr32 after installation, then the assembly is correctly added to
Outlook. I can't locate all the steps necessary to property register
an assembly as an Outlook addin, so I can't do it manually at this point.
I have scoured the internet looking for someone else who has done
this, but I can't find anyone. Does anyone have experience in making
Outlook (or Office) addin installers? Thanks
