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

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 |
