I wouldn't expect heat to work with DCOM type registration. I would start by looking at the CLSID entry in the registry, most of what you need is there. Another option is to use something like regspy to see what entries are written when you manually register the component or run dcomcnfg.
I know this sounds like a lot of work but in the long run the effort will be worth it as you will get a much more maintainable installation.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] COM+ and DCOM component installation help please The only problem with that is when I use Heat.exe there are no registry settings exported since the exe file is created with a third-party component that handles the registration. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 2:17 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] COM+ and DCOM component installation help please I am fairly sure these are all just registry entries so you can author them with standard registry write techniques.

Subject: [WiX-users] COM+ and DCOM component installation help please I have an executable file, let's say it's called Listener.exe. When this file is executed it gets registered and is listed in the DCom Config tree I in Windows Component Services. When I right click on the entry and select properties, I get a dialog with the following tabs: General Location Security End Points Identity How can I configure these settings in my install. What elements should I be using?
