Okay, removing the attribute removed the error. Is that a bug? I seems that no should mean no. 3.5 has the same behavior?
Since I am not using the Advertise attribute, does the RelativePath attribute have any meaning? Is the lack of relative path support a WIX issue or an installer issue? I am trying to get all the registry entries that are created by RegAsm created with as few manual entries as possible. I have to add the AppId etc because I am also registering the COM object for elevation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy Chastain -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Monday, November 09, 2009 21:28 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

Looking at the 3.0 RTM help chm, here is what I see: Try removing RelativePath attribute entirely from the Class element. -----Original Message----- From: Roy Chastain [mailto:r...@roychastain.org] Sent: Monday, November 09, 2009 12:52 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Error message "Cannot convert RelativePath into Registry elements." I have the following XML <Component Id="COMDllComponent" Guid="FE540942-A911-4bc3-851C-1A810122011E"> <File Id="COMDll" Name="$(var.COMDll.TargetFileName)" Source="$(var.COMDll.TargetPath)" Assembly=".net" AssemblyApplication="COMUser" AssemblyManifest="COMDll" DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes" /> <AppId Id="{2415C722-C6DC-4a7c-80DA-447EA126BD4D}" Advertise="no" Description="Test COM Dll"> <Class Id="{34224BB0-7F1C-4b88-9D1A-F06A4C9A396F}" Advertise="no" Context="InprocServer32" Description="Test COM Dll" ForeignServer="mscoree.dll" RelativePath="no" ThreadingModel="both" Version="1.0"/> </AppId> </Component> Candle indicates the error is on the <Class> statement. I have tried this with <Class> as a descendent of File and as a descendent of AppId (as shown). Same error message in both cases. What does this error message really mean? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy Chastain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
