Wei, Just adding the DLL as a file in a component will install the file but not register it as a COM component.
The use of the word "harvest" implies the use of Wix's "Heat" tool. A quick look in the WiX help and a search online should give you all the information you need to know about using heat to extract the COM registration information.

But I tried to put myLib.dll into the same Component as TypeLib element (I assume this is what you mean), but the result is the same. Plus, what's the difference between "harvest" and what I do now: just make the dll as another component? Like I mentioned, I originally put myLib.dll into another component, but this component is in the same folder as the TypeLib component.
