If values aren't being set automatically, then I'm not sure how a Windows XP
install, or a Vista install with UAC turned on winds up having values in the
CLSID section to indicate "InprocServer32" path, etc. I never explicitly
write those, but they show up in the registry. I can only assume this is
done magically using info inside the <file> element. I'll paste the
component code for clarity. A whole bunch of keys with words looking like
the stuff inside 'file' and 'class' elements match what I'm seeing in the
registry. I can only conclude that WiX is setting up the MSI to do this
automatically. Note, the component code and the 2 registry lines following
it were created using the heat.exe utility on the toolbar/bho dll file (I
think it was heat... not positive. Some tool spit out some XML and I
included it in my main WiX file).

Am I doing something incorrectly?
