Hello,
this is a working example of a COM object registration:
<Component Id="COMComponent" Guid="<insert GUID here>">
<File Id="DtmDll" Source="YOUR_DLL_NAME_HERE" KeyPath="yes" />
<Class Id="{$(var.C_DtmClassId)}" Context="InprocServer32"
Description="$(var.C_DtmDll)" ForeignServer="mscoree.dll">
<ProgId Id="$(var.C_DtmProgId)" Description="$(var.C_DtmClass)" />
</Class>
<!-- .NET Category -->
<RegistryValue Root="HKCR" Key="CLSID\{$(var.C_DtmClassId)}\Implemented
Categories\{62C8FE65-4EBB-45e7-B440-6E39B2CDBF29}" Value="" Type="string"
Action="write" />
<RegistryValue Root="HKCR"
Key="CLSID\{$(var.C_DtmClassId)}\InprocServer32\$(var.D_ProductVersion)"
Name="Class" Value="$(var.C_DtmClass)" Type="string"
Action="write" />
<RegistryValue Root="HKCR"
Key="CLSID\{$(var.C_DtmClassId)}\InprocServer32\$(var.D_ProductVersion)"
Name="Assembly" Value="$(var.D_ProductFqn)" Type="string"
Action="write" />
<RegistryValue Root="HKCR"
Key="CLSID\{$(var.C_DtmClassId)}\InprocServer32\$(var.D_ProductVersion)"
Name="RuntimeVersion" Value="$(var.D_ProductImageRuntime)" Type="string"
Action="write" />
<RegistryValue Root="HKCR"
Key="CLSID\{$(var.C_DtmClassId)}\InprocServer32\$(var.D_ProductVersion)"
Name="CodeBase" Value="file:///[#DtmDll]" Type="string"
Action="write" />
<RegistryValue Root="HKCR" Key="CLSID\{$(var.C_DtmClassId)}\InprocServer32"
Name="Class" Value="$(var.C_DtmClass)" Type="string"
Action="write" />
<RegistryValue Root="HKCR" Key="CLSID\{$(var.C_DtmClassId)}\InprocServer32"
Name="Assembly" Value="$(var.D_ProductFqn)" Type="string"
Action="write" />
<RegistryValue Root="HKCR" Key="CLSID\{$(var.C_DtmClassId)}\InprocServer32"
Name="RuntimeVersion" Value="$(var.D_ProductImageRuntime)" Type="string"
Action="write" />
<RegistryValue Root="HKCR" Key="CLSID\{$(var.C_DtmClassId)}\InprocServer32"
Name="CodeBase" Value="file:///[#DtmDll]" Type="string"
Action="write" />
</Component>
Examples for the defines:
D_Product_Fqn: Adm2.Adm.Dtm, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=7b26e28fb8781288
C_DtmClass: Adm2.Adm.Dtm.Adm
D_ProductImageRuntime: v1.1.4322
C_DtmClassId: <COM Class GUID>
C_DtmProgId: <COM ProgId>
D_ProductVersion: 1.0.0.0
I hope you can see in there what you need/want to do.
