That is the correct solution. Heat.exe exports COM from .NET assemblies without issue for anything I've given it including DLL/TLB pairs.

The only difference of these two dlls are the first one (where heat fails) depends on an interop assembly exported from a tlb file, while the latter (where heat succeeds) does not. > > Can anybody tell why heat cannot export COM information for the first one? I had this problem when heat could not load the DLL due to missing dependencies. If your component depends on something in another directory, you should add it to the path. Not sure if that is the correct solution, but it was the one I found anyway. -- Sohail Somani -- iBlog : http://uint32t.blogspot.com iTweet: http://twitter.com/somanisoftware iCode : http://bitbucket.org/cheez ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
