I'm trying to package a legacy program that registers some third-party
ocx and dlls. I see that the consensus is that I should be handling
this with a registry component. However, this application's
'installer' just copies stuff into a folder off the root of c:\ and
runs a 'register.bat' to regsvr3
The best solution is to extract the information with tallow or heat and specify
the correct table
entries. Try to avoid selfreg where possible.

hi all,
i have to register a dll inside my msi. i've seen that the table selfreg can do
that BUT i've also seen another method by using customaction calling msiexec /y
to reg (and /z to unreg).
what is the better solution?
thanks in advance
