I just realized that the thread I am looking at says explicitly that this is
still a bug in v3.5.
It also mentioned a workaround, but I can't figure out exactly what it
means:
"The work around in WiX v3.0, unfortunately, is to pull the second ProgId
out
and set its registry keys using RegistryKey/RegistryValue elements. "
I have tried several configurations but continue to get the same error.
Can somebody extrapolate on it for me?
Thank you,
Whitney
