I totally agree that if they should not be registered then heat should not include them. However, I don't think this is the right forum to get a definitive answer.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Heat and Interop files Alex, That is what I thought, I have never done any registration of them. On searching around I did find information about them having a TypeLib entry if you put them in the GAC but I couldn't find anything definitive. Rob, I asked the question here because I was interested in what the people here do when installing Interops, if they are not registered then the registration code should be removed from heat or made optional.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Heat and Interop files In my experience, Heat does not deal right with interop assemblies. And yes, you are right: interop assemblies do not need registration entries, they do not need any entries in the registry at all. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 06:50 To: [email protected] Subject: [WiX-users] Heat and Interop files I have been looking at heat recently and noticed that is generates COM registration entries for Interop files. I think this is wrong but wondered what anyone else thought. Also, is there a way to detect that a file is an Interop file. One possibility is that Interop files contain TypeLb\{guid}\ver\Name="PrimaryInteropAssemblyName" - is this a reliable method of detecting them?
