Dear all,

I've been dealing with this issue when using heat to generate the registry
information for COM-dll's.
(I'm running 3.0.5419.0 of the WiX toolset)

For instance:

Running heat on the file ChilKatUtil.dll results in:

...
              <Class Id="{C497BA35-66A4-4818-8AF0-6928A3EEEB68}"
Context="InprocServer32" Description="Chilkat AppSettings"
ThreadingModel="apartment" Version="1.0" Insertable="yes" Programmable="yes"
Control="yes">
 *               <ProgId Id="Chilkat.AppSettings.1" Description="Chilkat
AppSettings">*
*                  <ProgId Id="Chilkat.AppSettings" Description="Chilkat
AppSettings" />*
*                </ProgId>*
                <ProgId Id="ChilkatUtil.AppSettings.1" Description="Chilkat
AppSettings">
                  <ProgId Id="ChilkatUtil.AppSettings" Description="Chilkat
AppSettings" />
                </ProgId>
              </Class>
...

This compiles fine, but when linking I get the error: "error LGHT0130 : The
primary key 'reg06989E0C50B7888525E711A46A9A609B' is duplicated in table
'Registry'.  Please remove one of the entries or rename a part of the
primary key to avoid the collision."

When I remove section in bold it links fine, and the following entries are
written to the registry:

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-2139871995-1417001333-500\Software\Classes\ChilkatUtil.AppSettings]

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-2139871995-1417001333-500\Software\Classes\ChilkatUtil.AppSettings\CLSID]
@="{C497BA35-66A4-4818-8AF0-6928A3EEEB68}"
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-2139871995-1417001333-500\Software\Classes\ChilkatUtil.AppSettings\CurVer]

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-2139871995-1417001333-500\Software\Classes\ChilkatUtil.AppSettings.1]
@="Chilkat AppSettings"
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-2139871995-1417001333-500\Software\Classes\ChilkatUtil.AppSettings.1\CLSID]
@="{C497BA35-66A4-4818-8AF0-6928A3EEEB68}"

However, what I need in the registry is the following (I need both prog
id's):

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-2139871995-1417001333-500\Software\Classes\Chilkat.AppSettings]

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-2139871995-1417001333-500\Software\Classes\Chilkat.AppSettings\CurVer]
@="Chilkat.AppSettings.1"
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-2139871995-1417001333-500\Software\Classes\Chilkat.AppSettings.1]

@="{C497BA35-66A4-4818-8AF0-6928A3EEEB68}"
[

@="{C497BA35-66A4-4818-8AF0-6928A3EEEB68}"

The funny thing is, with version 3.0.5006.0 I get the correct result, but it
is a beta and I would much rather
use an official release to build our MSI. Something must have changed to
light between the 2 versions.
I have tried with 3.5 versions also, but it breaks on the same linker error.

I found this post from last year:
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Possible-bug-with-duplicate-registry-keys-td3214414.html
That person had the same problem, but I cannot reach him for comments. Also
there seem to have been no replies on his question.

Anyone has an idea ?

Thanks in advance.
JB
