My WiX (3.5) installer should copy the richtx32.ocx file to the
windows\system32 dir and register it by using some command line statements but
it does not work. The file is not copied to the folder.
<Directory Id="SystemFolder">
<Component Id="ComponentName" Guid="someGUID">
<File Source="someSourceFolder\richtx32.ocx" />
</Component>
</Directory>
The problem occurs on XP and also on Win7 and yes, I have started the MSI as
admin user. In case the file is copied to another directory (eg. the program
files directory of my application), everything works fine.
The error occurs only with the system32 dir. I also tried it with another .ocx
file to see whether the problems lies within the file itself, but it does not
work either.
BUT:
If I add a "test.txt" file to the component (which btw. has some more files
then only the richtx32.ocx) it suddenly works! But why does the installer only
copy all files if there is a different file than .ocx/.dll?? I don't want to
copy a dummy text file just to let it work... There must be a reason.
Thanks in advance!
