I think you are missing the point (or I am), how do I know it is not related? In VB6 you don't edit the COM registration so you don't know the details. I have a fairly simple ocx and heat generates 182 lines of WiX code for it! I have tried a few times to remove the unrelated code and never successfully got the component to work or to leave the machine working on uninstall. Have you ever generated the WiX registry code for VB6 COM component? Has anyone?

It sounds to me like DllRegisterServer on a VB6 DLL "helps" you by making sure that your dependencies (the VB6 runtime) is also registered. This was a problem in the early days when the VB6 runtime was something you had to add onto windows. I'm not certain which OS started including the VB6 DLLs as part of "system", but IIRC they all include the runtime dependencies now so you shouldn't ever need to do that part. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
