I'm running on XP64 here but I have XP32 & Vista32 set up on Virtual PC (used primarily for testing my packages before release). I might try running heat.exe on the executable in the XP32 VM & see if the output is any different. Cheers,

I have a problem with the COM registration info heat.exe generates for one of our executables (not written by me). It doesn't seem to get all the required entries. The generated code is as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Fragment> <DirectoryRef Id="appsFolder"> <Component Id="iesoop" Guid="503CDCB9-669D-4c18-BF30-B1319A127326"> <File Id="iesoop.exe" Name="iesoop.exe" KeyPath="yes" Source="..\..\..\bin_release\iesoop.exe"> <TypeLib Id="{7749E01A-8723-476D-905F-E8F97EDF8AF6}" Description="iesoop Type Library" Language="0" MajorVersion="4" MinorVersion="0"> <Interface Id="{22624D71-96AA-4581-AF1B-E58539EB3EC3}" Name="_IBridgeEvents" ProxyStubClassId="{00020420-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" ProxyStubClassId32="{00020420-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" /> <Interface Id="{93B8BD76-7C0A-4119-84C7-3FDCF9B7477C}" Name="IBridge" ProxyStubClassId="{00020424-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" ProxyStubClassId32="{00020424-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" /> </TypeLib> </File> <RegistryValue Root="HKCR" Key="TypeLib\{7749E01A-8723-476D-905F-E8F97EDF8AF6}\4.0\HELPDIR" Value="[appsFolder]" Type="string" Action="write" /> </Component> </DirectoryRef> </Fragment> </Wix> When I use RegSpy on this app it generates much more than those entries above. When I install our application it fails to run. If I run the above executable after installation with the /regserver parameter then run our application it works fine. This is what leads me to believe heat.exe is missing some of the self-registration info. In WiX 2.0, tallow.exe happily took a .reg file & output the required XML, heat.exe in 3.0 refuses to play the game (outputs a fragment with a directory, component & file tag for the .reg file!). Does anyone know how I can convert the .reg file I've extracted using RegSpy to WiX 3.0 XML? heat.exe seems to have no documentation at all other than what it outputs when run with /? I really don't want to have to use a custom action for this.
