[wix-devs] WixComPlusExtension Status update 3

[Hoover, Jacob]

Took a peek at the code after the meeting. Nothing looks off.

Really want to see the authoring or an example MSI.

>From your code and our discussion, the ICOMAdminCatalog::ImportComponent is failing.


https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/comadmin/nf-comadmin-icomadmincatalog-importcomponent
Imports a component already registered as an in-process server into a COM+ application.


How are you including the file containing the typelib into the MSI?

If Advertise is set to yes, then the action to look for (during install) is RegisterClassInfo, otherwise it's WriteRegistryValues.

Look at the InstallExecute sequence to see where your CA is scheduled with respect to the other action that is writing to the registry (I would assume it's WriteRegistryValues).

I have reached a point where I am able to test the installer in my test environment - things are not 100% done yet but it's good enough for investigation.

One problem I am encountering is that the registry keys to be written by <Class> elements have not yet committed to the registry during the custom action. At least this seems to be the case based on (1) the error code returned by the API and (2) inspection via regedit with the installer stopped in the debugger.

I'm open to suggestions to resolve this aspect.

I plan to be online at tonight's meeting.
