I'm currently porting a Visual Studio setup and deployment project to WiX.
Part of the setup is to install a COM+ Application with a specific COM+
component that has a bunch of interfaces and methods.
My problem is that when i specify the native (C++) DllPath and specify one
single ComPlusComponent, the MSI installs all COM+ components (classes in
the dll). Is there maybe some way to select individual COM+ components that
have to be installed without installing everything?
So my desired end result would be when I look in Component Services under
COM+ Applications:
-My COM+ App
-Components
+*MyComp.MyClass3*
.....
The WiX code looks like this now:
<File Id="MYCOMP_Dll" Source="path..to...MyComp.dll" KeyPath="yes"
Vital="yes">
<....TypeLib Class and ProgId stuff from heat.exe output....>
</File>
<complus:ComPlusApplication Id="MyComApplication" Name="My COM+ App">
<complus:ComPlusAssembly Id="MyComAssembly" Type="native"
DllPath="[#MYCOMP_Dll]">
<complus:ComPlusComponent Id="MyComComponent3" CLSID="<b>MyClass3's
CLSID HERE" />
</complus:ComPlusAssembly>
</complus:ComPlusApplication>
I would expect that Component Services shows only the ComPlusComponent I
defined in my .wxs file. But somehow all components within that dll are
there...
*More information that might help:
The original Setup/Deployment project used a custom action written in C#
that used the method InstallMultipleComponents() defined as:
void InstallMultipleComponents(string bstrApplIDOrName, ref System.Array
ppsaVarFileNames, ref System.Array ppsaVarCLSIDs)
Member of COMAdmin.ICOMAdminCatalog2
At runtime it would be InstallMultipleComponents("My COM+ App",
"MyComp.dll", "CLSID of MyClass3 here"); --> This registers only the
specific component that I specified via the CLSID argument so basically i'm
looking for the equivalent in WiX.
I'm using WiX 3.7 and VS2010. Testing happens on Windows 2008R2.*
