Is your MSI built as x86 or x64?
Our product has multiple OCX's & COM DLL's which I've harvested using
heat.exe and everything registers fine on both 32-bit & 64-bit O/S.
However all our MSI's are built for x86 as our apps are 32-bit so I've
never run across this issue myself.

If you're building an x64 MSI you might need to set Win64="no" on the
Components in question (& possibly other Elements, haven't looked into
it much) to get it to redirect to the WoW6432Node registry areas
correctly. Whether that'll pass ICE validation is a another question
entirely though.

Good luck.

Subject: [WiX-users] How do I register a 32bit dll on a 64bit OS ?

I'm authoring a WiX file that registers a COM dll as part of the
install. I used heat.exe to extract the ClassID, Interfaces, Reg Keys
etc and reference that in my wxs file. This works well when I install on
32-bit OS. However it doesn't work on a 64bit OS ? I digged through the
archives and there were references to this being a known problem in Wix.
Has this been fixed in Wix 3.0 ?
