My new MSI was working great in WiX 3.0.4805.0 (and Warsetup 3.12.0.0) except I needed to register a DLL which looks like it was made in VB 6 (it references MSVBVM60.DLL)
I ran: heat.exe file foo.dll -out c:\foo.dll.wxs Then, I added the GUID, but I got errors: "c:\wix3\candle.exe" "c:\prj\foo.dll.wxs" "-ext" "c:\wix3\WixUIExtension.dll" "-out" "c:\prj\foo.dll.wixobj" Errors foo.dll.wxs c:\prj\foo.dll.wxs(6) : error CNDL0010 : The Class/@Server attribute was not found; it is required. c:\prj\foo.dll.wxs(27) : error CNDL0047 : The TypeLib element is non-advertised and therefore requires a parent File element. c:\prj\foo.dll.wxs(31) : error CNDL0047 : The TypeLib element is non-advertised and therefore requires a parent File element. I found what looked like a solution here[1], so I put the six <EnsureTable ..> entries after <Fragment>. It didn't help. [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09448.html Starting over, I used dark.exe to decompile an old version of the project (which I didn't build), and the only thing I can see interesting is SelfRegCost="0" . I added that to the DLL's <File Id> Element, and it is working! Is this solution 'bad' like running 'regsvr32 foo.dll'?
