That was my first big theory. Just to help out, here's the pertinent pieces... <Component Id="VisibilitySnapIn.dll" Guid="{B813CED8-CDA2-44CC-B809-116A987789F9}"> <File Id="VisibilitySnapIn.dll" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.Visibility Monitor MMC SnapIn.TargetDir)VisibilitySnapIn.dll" Assembly=".net" AssemblyApplication="VisibilitySnapIn.dll" /> </Component> <RegistryValue Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\FX:{244B7462-C89A-427e-8D1B-CF4E37878699}" Name="Type" Value="VisibilitySnapIn.VisibilitySnapIn, !(bind.assemblyFullName.VisibilitySnapIn.dll)" Type="string" Action="write" /> Any ideas?
