thanks for the info on the msm's mike. yes, this was an example because the
file is freely available and if you wanted to recreate what i sent it would
be easy. i have this problem with any dll/ocx i am registering. it always
add's the quotes to InProcServer32 when the wxs is compiled to msi, and when
the file is self-registered, it does not add the quotes.
so the question is, is this a bug or is this by design. bob had mentioned
that this was something that should not be in this version and was already
remedied.
i test weather i captured all the correct registry information by installing
the msi, then using the freeware utility regshot to capture the registry,
self register the file, and use regshot to take another shot for
comparison. the only changes all my files make to the registry upon
self-registration is to remove the quotes from the inprocserver32
btw, i am repackaing applications for internal distribution in a corporate
environment, not for public distribution. since the only apps that
technically are repackaged are setup-based, there really aren't any
component GUID's on some of the third party control files. i had been
teaching myself WiX using the MS redistributables, but make sure i adhere to
the component rules as often as possible. (though i know i cannot say the
same for my co-workers...)
and i didn't stick a GUID in there anywhere, did i? <g>

As always, if you didn't write the component you should only distribute
it in the way directed by the author of the component. In this case, for
mscomctl.ocx, you should use the mscomctl.msm from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f9d19334-61ec-48cf-bb4e-3aec65edd50b&DisplayLang=en.
Please note that there are known bugs in these merge modules which can be
found at http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/bugs_msi.htm#wimsm (scroll
down past the myriad errors in the deprecated MSDE Merge Modules).
Using different component GUIDs for third-party libraries breaks component
rules. This can cause software to be removed prematurely or not to be
removed when it should be. For compatibility, Windows Installer does
increment the shared DLL reference count for files installed in certain
system folders, but you should not rely on this behaviour.
If I'm misunderstanding you, and this was just an example, not a file
you're actually installing, I apologize.
Not quoting the path would be correct as the string in InProcServer32 is
passed to LoadLibrary, which does not parse for arguments (it's expecting a
DLL – DLLs don't have arguments) and therefore isn't fooled by spaces in
paths.

and that gives me this, taken from the reg table in ORCA. i could attach
a file if it would be neater. the bolded entry is the offending one.

Which version of WiX are you using? I believe that was changed sometime

I am using v3.00.2813. i believe that is the last release.
Hmmm...Can you post the WiX authoring and the resulting Registry rows?
