There is a WiX book which may be of value "WiX A Developers Guide to Windows Installer XML" (http://www.amazon.com/WiX-Developers-Guide-Windows-Installer/dp/1849513724).
Bottom line with COM is write all registry entries directly with WiX code rather than selfreg - it is hard work but pays off in terms of reliability. Also, if your environment/code supports it try regfree COM, that is a lot less hassle http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2009/08/registration-free-com.html.

Greetings New to the community, please forgive me if I'm asking stupid questions. Nevertheless, desperate times call for desperate measures, so here goes: I've been working through the tutorial over at http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial. Are there any others out there (of equal depth) as well? Would like to find something with a bit more step-by-step on certain topics. Specifically I'm working on creating installers that will pull in multiple activex files (dll and exe) and register them properly as well as unregister properly.
