Re: [WiX-users] Call a .NET dll file in wix using custom

HKLM\Software\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 is NOT a COM 
registration. A COM registration would include registry keys similar to these 
(values not included):


*         HKCR\CLSID\{576bdc7a-1b68-444b-8ea9-5c07d88b1ff2}\InprocServer32

*         HKCR\CLSID\{576bdc7a-1b68-444b-8ea9-5c07d88b1ff2}\ProgID

*         HKCR\DLFetcher.RetreiveDL

In WiX source, you can get these keys created using code like this (I don't 
know which of your guids is your CLSID, so I can't fill it in for you):

<Component Id="DlFetcher" Guid="{Component-GUID-HERE}" Location="local">
                                                                        <File 
KeyPath="yes" Id="InstallDlfetcher"
                                                                                
    Name="DLFetcher.dll"
                                                                                
    DiskId="1"
                                                                                
    Source="D:\DLFetcher_July10\DLFetcher.dll" Assembly=".net">

                                                                            
<Class Id="{CLSID-GUID-HERE}"
                                                                                
 Context="InprocServer32">
                                                                                
 <ProgId Id="DLFetcher.RetreiveDL.1">
                                                                                
     <ProgId Id="DLFetcher.RetreiveDL"/>
                                                                                
 </ProgId>
                                                                            
</Class>
                                                                        </File>
                                                            </Component>

There are tutorials online on deployment of  .Net and COM using WiX.

Hi,

I added a COM registration to my wix file as follows:

<Component Id="DlFetcher" Guid="{235B5F90-EC82-4ce7-B433-8E4269A409EC}" 
Location="local">
                                                                        <File 
KeyPath="yes" Id="InstallDlfetcher"
                                                                                
    Name="DLFetcher.dll"
                                                                                
    DiskId="1"
                                                                                
    Source="D:\DLFetcher_July10\DLFetcher.dll" Assembly=".net">
                                                                        </File>

                                                                        
<RegistryValue
                                                                        
Root="HKLM"
                                                                        
Key="Software\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322"
                                                                        
Name="{0F599288-CA74-467c-83CF-B853254159C7}"
                                                                        
Type="string" Value="D:\DLFetcher_July10\DLFetcher.dll"
                                                                        
Action="write"/>

                                                            </Component>


But still when when I try to run a html file, I am getting the same problem:

DLFetcher Component is not registered[object error]

Can you please help me out in solving this issue further..

Regards,
Poornima.S

GAC registration is only one part of the registration you have in your sample 
batch file, the other part is COM registration. Please add your COM 
registration (registry) to your wix sources. IE/javascript do not look in the 
GAC, they look in the COM portion of the registry for the objects they access.

But still I have a problem when I try to run a html file, although DLfetcher is 
registered in gac, issue is as follows:

DLFetcher Component is not registered[object error]


Html file:
<html>
<body>
<script language="javascript">
try
{
        ob1 = new ActiveXObject("DLFetcher.RetreiveDL");
        alert(ob1);
        if(ob1!=null)
        {

                username=ob1.GetUserName();
                //alert("Windows : "+username);
                var IsUserValid=ob1.IsUserExist(username);
                if(IsUserValid)
                {
                alert("UserName is available ");
                var arDL=ob1.GetDLforUserAsString("baijuv");
                if(arDL.length==0)
                {
                        alert("Invalid User");
                }
                else
                {
                alert(arDL);
                }
                }
                else
                {
                alert("User is not avaliable in the Domain Control to connect 
to Active Directory");
                }

        }
}
catch(e)
{
        alert("DLFetcher component is not registered "+e); } </script> </body> 
</html>

Can you please suggest me further, what changes can I do in wix so that the 
dlfetcher component gets registered.

But when I try to run a batch file as follows:

c:
cd C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322
regasm "D:\DLFetcher_July10\DLFetcher.dll"
gacutil /i "D:\DLFetcher_July10\DLFetcher.dll"
pause

the registry is happening in gac, as well as when I try to run my html file, no 
issues are coming... So can you please suggest me a way to do this procedure in 
wix...

Thanks in advance....
