Which msm is causing problems (what is its exact name)? Thanks, Derek From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave
Williamson The versions of the file are the same. Actually it was the
same physical file just to be sure (I used the extracted file from the msm). OK. So now I'm back to using the Tallow generated code
(because it works) but I'm at a cross roads. Rob has said that the
component's GUID is super important when trying to keep up with shared files
installed on a machine ... in this case the shared file is a vb 6 ocx
control. And the Tallow code does not match the Dark code of the msm so
technically I should not use the msm component GUID with the tallow code
because they are different ... yet what is being accomplished is installing a
shared file, mscomm32.ocx, on the end user's system32 dir, registered,
and reference counted ... and that does need to be coordinated with other folks
installing that same file. If I use the same GUID then the mscomm32.ocx should not be
uninstalled prematurely if my app is uninstalled and other apps that have
installed the ocx are still installed. If I use a different GUID then the mscomm32.ocx could be
uninstalled if the basic reference counting is out of whack. What a [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you do and [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you don't situation. Dave Williamson From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dave Williamson wrote: The Dark output showed some interesting constructs that were not
directly in the tallow code but seemed like they were the same thing but
represented in a different manner. Yes, tallow doesn't know how to use the strongly-typed COM-registration
elements. (Heat, in WiX v3, does.) So it just turns them into registry values. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org |
