It's both. The application is written in VB6. It uses COM DLLs written in various languages, including C++, VB6, and .NET. The installer needs to be able to register all of these things.
The non-.Net COM DLLs seem to be doing alright with the SelfRegCost attribute applied, but now the .Net DLLs are having trouble. I've tried various ways to get them working. What I'm currently looking at is the RegisterClassInfo/ProgID/TypeLib actions. I opened the MSI up in ORCA, and realized that they are not in my InstallExecuteSequence table. That makes sense why it wasn't working with Class/Progid etc elements in the components. The action was never getting called that dealt with those things. I assumed those actions would be included, and that I didn't to explicitly add them. I'm going to give it a try with the "correct" methodology again, this time with the correct actions in the sequence and see if that does the trick. If so, I can get rid of the self registration stuff, AND the duct tape batch file full of regasm calls. Conveniently, re-ghosting the test box and building the installer take about the same amount of time.. >sigh< This application is a beast, and the installer has to tame it. What a project.... At least I have a nice view of downtown Portland at night from the 11th floor of this building.
