Based on the error message it looks like tallow does not support your wsc file. You may want to take a look at heat, which is part of WiX 3.0 and may do more than tallow. Otherwise, you will have to determine the registry entries yourself.

Was chatting with a collegue and he said to mention the fact that the things we are trying to register are windows scripting (wsc) components as opposed to dlls. Does this change the comments regarding the use of tallow. Being in the right directory helped a bit though but now I get a message saying "The application of DLL W:\wirelessDashboard\Extractors\DTS_Utilities.wsc is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." Brian Simoneau wrote: > > If the file is called file.dll and it is in the current directory, then > tallow -s file.dll > should work.
