Would anyone have any idea about how to go and gatherer the proper infos or
know any other "Com info gatherer"?
Hi Carl, if i understand correctly, what you are looking for (as an
alternative to Tallow/Heat) would be RegCap.exe that comes with Visual
Studio. It Can be found in your visual studio directory under
Common7\Tools\Deployment.
Once you got your .reg out, you can use tallow to convert it to
RegistryValues tags... However, that will *NOT* produce nice looking
TypeLibs and Class tags... you are pretty much on your own with that.
As for getting Heat to work properly, i really dont know Carl...
Have a good day,

Hi,
Heat (3) and Tallow (2) are not properly extracting register information
out of some DLLs/OCXs i have. Most are ok (the one made by the company i
work for) but some (made by 3rd parties) are not.
I suspect OCX/DLL compression to be the issue, but this is just a wild
guess.
Heat "goes thru" the files, but only produces "Interface" tags in the
TypeLib. Tallow, however, for some files works and some other crashes

Here is one of the files on which i encounter this issue (for heat, tallow
works on this one) : http://downloads.datadynamics.com/AB2252121.zip (
ActBar2.ocx)
I could send anyone who is interested the file that cause the tallow
crash, i could not find it on the vendor's website, so i dont wanna infringe
any copyrights by making it publicly available
Would anyone have any idea about how to go and gatherer the proper infos
or know any other "Com info gatherer"?
To reproduce
Heat is used like this: Heat file ActBar2.ocx -out ActBar2.wxs
Tallow is used like this tallow.exe -s ActBar.ocx > ActBar.wxs
Thanks in advance
