Ah of course I forget to include the most important detail. This is 64bit Windows 2008.
It looks like there IS some registry redirection going on there for Windows On Windows. So the CLSID registry settings were not appearing in the 64bit registry view we were looking at which was throwing us off. Our ASP/COM web application was not working because we had configured the web application's app pool to be 64bit which was not playing well with our COM server. Nothing to see here. Pleas move along.

I have an installer created using Wix 2.0.4820.0 which registers type libraries and com servers for .Net assemblies. We tried to deploy to a Windows 2008 server and are not seeing any CLSID <Registry> settings getting created. Example Wix elements that are not making it into the registry: ... <Registry Root="HKCR" Key="CLSID\{96EFBAF6-4FA0-4F71-A012-910F6CF61120}\Implemented Categories\{62C8FE65-4EBB-45e7-B440-6E39B2CDBF29}" /> <Registry Root="HKCR" Key="CLSID\{96EFBAF6-4FA0-4F71-A012-910F6CF61120}\InprocServer32" Name="Class" Value="FChoice.Foundation.Clarify.Compatibility.FCApplication" Type="string" /> <Registry Root="HKCR" Key="CLSID\{96EFBAF6-4FA0-4F71-A012-910F6CF61120}\InprocServer32" Name="Assembly" Value="FChoice.Foundation.Clarify.Compatibility, Version=$(env.asm.version), Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=48c955ba8dfd90d8" Type="string" /> ... This registry entry does get created: <Registry Root="HKCR" Key="Component Categories\{62C8FE65-4EBB-45e7-B440-6E39B2CDBF29}" Name="0" Value=".NET Category" Type="string" /> Registry settings from <TypeLib> <Class> <Interface> elements are present. It is only registry entries under the CLSID key that do not get created. This is a brand new Window 2008 server install where the user running the installer has Admin privileges. The Windows Installer Service is running as LocalSystem. This installer works fine on other Windows OSes. This smells like a security issue. Any suggestions? We are Windows 2008 newbies.
