Hi Tom, I think
you will need to define a custom table.
There are two ways of registering COM components within an MSI database,
one it to use the SelfReg table, which basically calls regsvr32 to self-register
the component, the other is to manually create the entries your self (i.e.
CLSID, Typelib etc). Although Microsoft
recommend against using the SelfReg table (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">),
it is by far the easiest way, and I'm not sure how easy it is to get all the data
you need to create the entries yourself from a VB COM Component. I haven't
tried this, but I think you need something like: <tables> <table
name="SelfReg"> <columns> <column
name="File_" nullable="false"
category="Identifier" key="true" /> <column
name="Cost" nullable="true" category="Integer"
key="false" /> </columns> <rows> <row> <columns> <column
name="File_" value="*This needs to be the value from the first
column in the File table*" /> </columns> </row> </rows> </table> </tables> You will
need to use the <forceid> tag in your component definition to set the ID
for the file to be registered as you need this in the File column above (Otherwise
<msi> will generate a random ID for the file) HTH, Bill -----Original
