That error almost certainly means you have to XML elements in the WiX toolset generating the same registry key. I think there is a known bug in WiX v3 around a certain configuration of ProgId elements that can cause this but my memory is fuzzy.
Try removing elements that generate registry keys (Registry*, Class, ProgId, TypeLib, Interface) and to narrow down the conflict. Eventually, I think you'll find that one element or another creates a duplicate registry key. On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 10:00 PM, Blair <os...@live.com> wrote: > You do have the full 3.0 RTM release.
