heat.exe file <your_dll> -gg -nologo -out <your_wxs> Substitute <your_dll> with your DLL filename & <your_wxs> with something you like (I tend to use the name of the DLL or OCX but with .wxs instead).
That should generate you a Fragment with the DLL in a File tag & all the registration which DllRegisterServer would do. Make sure you check there are no explicit paths & if there are, replace them with Properties (e.g. [#mydll.dll] for the full long path of your DLL after it is installed etc). Also make sure to update the DirectoryRef to point at the Directory where you want the file installed. No need to declare the File anywhere else or worry about uninstall, this is your one-stop-shop.

For testing I have been manually registering and unregistering the DLL using RegSvr32. I now need to automate the installation so I'll need to install the file and register it. And when I uninstall it, unregister it. While I can write the install/uninstall part of the installation easily enough, how do I go about registering and unregistering the DLL.
