I have checked it, registering it using a custom exe and using c# RegistrationServices.RegisterAssembly, the line added to the registry are equal to that harvested by Heat.I can't make it hard coded as I would change the version and even if my dll will expose other interfaces.Using Heat I need to make 2 msi project for registering under x86 and x64 depends on OS of the machine where to install, so I need to change the path of the dll in the x64 project as it has to link the same x86 dll.
