2008-05-02 Thread Tim Haloun
Hi, I had a quick question. I have a product that supports both per machine and per user installs, and I am trying to transition from wix 2 to 3. The particular component that is giving me trouble is a pretty simply, and contains several files, one of which has a COM Class registration, and a fe
