Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Registering VB6 OCX with Wix 3 The -vb6 option stops heat generating registry entries that shouldn't be removed when the component is uninstalled - vb6 components break the proper COM rules by registering things that are not part of the component being registered.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Registering VB6 OCX with Wix 3 Thanks Pally. Just out of curiousity, why would I need to run it with the -svb6 option? Wouldn't that trim out the registry settings for the VB6 Runtime files? Thanks for the recommendation on "snipping" things down. Sorry about about that. :) Jim -----Original Message----- From: Pally Sandher [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 11:14 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Registering VB6 OCX with Wix 3 It's a file identifier. Run heat with the -suid option & it will make more sense (why this isn't default is beyond me). The ! means it will be translated to a short path name during the install. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368609(VS.85).aspx You probably want to run heat with -svb6 too btw. Also in future snip your code down to the relevant parts as saying "on the 4th line from the top" when each line of your code is being split across multiple lines by the list bot doesn't help people trying to help you (it's actually the 9th line as you can see below).

Subject: [WiX-users] Registering VB6 OCX with Wix 3 Hi All, I ran heat on one of my OCX components using the -scom and -sfrag switches. In the following output, on the 4th line from the top and the 4th line from the bottom ther is a long alphanumeric string and I'm not sure what to replace the values with.
