Hello,
I've read through all the wix-users responses (and am fully aware that it
has been covered many times), but I am still unsuccessful in getting my
assembly registered correctly. Note that I'm not a .Net programmer - my role
is to assemble installers - so apologies if some of this is FAQ material.
I have a .Net COM service whose manual registration as follows works OK:
regasm SystemServices.dll /codebase
However I would prefer not to run a CustomAction to perform a regasm on
this.
Sending the output to a reg file gives entries such as:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\System.SoapClient.ActionItemServiceSoapBinding]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\System.SoapClient.ActionItemServiceSoapBinding\CLSID]

Running Heat on my DLL gives me:

But I get the error about the duplicate key in Registry when compiling.
Note that I have another 1100 entries much like the above.
My question is simple. What do I need to change in the WiX file to get the
system to register things in the same was as regasm /codebase? Will adding a
new unique ID to RegistryValue resolve this? I'm happy to postprocess the
heat output if necessary.
If this is a bug in Heat - what is needed to resolve the bug so we can get
it fixed?
Many thanks for any pointers.
Ben
