Great Work Brian!!
I just incorporated WiX 3.0.5308 into our build and harvested all 128 VB6
COM DLLs. Your fix works like a charm:
[exec] heat.exe : warning HEAT5156 : Ignoring the registry key
'Interface\{F3DB7AC0-A581-48C6-A973-8860578A77E1}\ProxyStubClsid/', it has
already been added to the component 'EstimationEngine.dll'. The registry key
value '{00020424-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' will not be harvested.
Also, here are some statistics for Heat when I harvested my 128 files:
Version 3.0.4923: WiX file produced is 25540 lines, 4.7 MB
Version 3.0.5308: WiX file produced is 3794 lines, 601 KB
That's a great performance improvement!
Thanks again for all the help. Heat is definitely a rock solid tool.
