MSI SDK has a list of reasons why SelfReg is "evil". -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jeff sacksteder Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 18:02 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] self-registering
I'm trying to package a legacy program that registers some third-party ocx and dlls. I see that the consensus is that I should be handling this with a registry component. However, this application's 'installer' just copies stuff into a folder off the root of c:\ and runs a 'register.bat' to regsvr32 /s each necessary item. In this case, is there really any downside to making the files self-register? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
