If you need a typelib you'll have to explicitly generated one with tlbexp or
equivalent, and add the typelibrary tag to that when you install it.

Subject: [WiX-users] RegAsm in Wix
Hello
I'm trying to register an assembly for com interop. I used the magic of tallow
to create a fragment which seems to take care of all the registry entries.
The fragment looks something like this:
<File Id="ScriptDll" Name="TASCRI_1.DLL"
LongName="TAScriptAPI.dll" Source="..\TAScriptAPI\bin\Release\TAScriptAPI.dll"
/>
<File Id="ScriptTlb" Name="TASCRI_1.TLB"
LongName="TAScriptAPI.tlb" Source="..\TAScriptAPI\bin\Release\TAScriptAPI.tlb"
/>
<Registry Root="HKCR" Key="TAScriptAPI.ScriptAPI"
Value="TAScriptAPI.ScriptAPI" Type="string" />
<Registry Root="HKCR" Key="TAScriptAPI.ScriptAPI\CLSID"

I just had to include the tlb file, which is used to reference against, but is
not used at run-time, just compile-time.
I ran regasm and had it output to a .reg file and compared all the entries -
they matched up. So it should be all good. The only problem is, it doesn't.
If I install and try and use the COM object it doesn't work. If I run regasm on
my dll it works again. So as far as I can tell regasm does something else
apart from only the registry entries. Am I wrong here?
I tried to put a typelib entry inside the File tag for my dll, but that just
caused the installer to fail. I'm not even sure that I should be use the
typelib tag.
Thanks in advance
Jaco
