In order to make the WiX schema more uniform in its handling
of advertised versus non-advertised COM registration and also dissuade people
from using the built-in MSI TypeLib functionality (which has some issues with
rollback and uninstall), we’ve changed the default for the TypeLib
elements to non-advertised. Previously this element defaulted to advertised
authoring (which means that it puts rows in the TypeLib table). It will now default
to non-advertised (it will put rows in the Registry table). If you have TypeLib
elements which specify the Advertise attribute, they will be unaffected by this
change (this only affects the behavior of not specifying the Advertise
attribute). This change also only affects WiX 3.0. Please note that with non-advertised TypeLib authoring, it
becomes necessary to fill in a bit more information in the WiX authoring about
the TypeLib like the Interface, AppId, and Class child elements. To switch
back to advertised TypeLib entries, simply add Advertise=”no” on
the affected TypeLib elements. Also, please note that WixCop will not be able
to automatically migrate this change since its impossible to tell if the absence
of the Advertise attribute indicates authoring from prior to this change or
afterwards. Thanks, Derek |
