As you've discovered, it basically comes down to knowing what the tools do in this area. For example, regasm on an assembly registers classes and typelib, but regasm with the /regfile option just generates class registration in the output .reg file (no typelib entries). In Tallow's (open!) source I see that it does class registration and redirects the registry entries to turn them into a data file, but doesn't create a type library or do anything about its registry entries.

The problem was that the typelib´s of some comvisible assemblies were not registered. I thought that tallow would extract this information as well when I ran tallow -c on the dlls. I solved it by: 1 running regasm on my comvisible assemblies. 2 manually extracting the typelib information from my registry. 3 converting the regfile to wix format and adding them to my wxs file. Is this really the best way? I was hoping to be able to extract the registry information from the tlb or assembly files.
