Hi there,
I try to extract the self-register information for a COM file written
with VB6 a long time ago.
If I use regsvr32 to register the file manually on Win7 64-bit it works
fine. But when I try to extract the information using heat with the
following command line, just the file tag is generated, without having
the com information extracted.
Command line:
heat file file.dll -sfrag -srd -suid -svb6 -out file.wxi
Result:
heat.exe : warning HEAT5150 : Could not harvest data from a
file that was expected to be a SelfReg DLL: path\to\file.dll.
If this file does not support SelfReg you can ignore this
warning. Otherwise, this error detail may be helpful to
diagnose the failure: Ein Aufrufziel hat einen Ausnahmefehler
verursacht.
When I use Dependency Walker I can see, that a delay-load dependency to
GPSVC.DLL was not found. That might be, because I am running a Windows 7
64-bit machine, but the DLL is for a x86 architecture, but again:
registering the file using regsvr32 works fine. I searched the internet
and found an article [1] where the solution is to change the
architecture of the dll to 64-bit, but that is no option to me.
So is there an other way to have the file self-registered during
installation except using 2 custom actions to call regsvr32 and regsvr32 /u
Regards, Michel
