[wix-users] Some registry keys not added?

[Persson, Magnus (SE-TLX)]

Hi,

Since heat.exe do not harvest COM information from EXE-files (only DLL-files) I have to add the registry information manually through the XML.

This is the registry information exported by another tool into a reg-file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\AppUpdate.EXE]
"AppID"="{602A5403-36BC-471A-BA05-CF2DDE7AAAD0}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{19DA01BC-529E-44B1-A415-D6FFE697DDE3}]

This is the part of the log that adds those keys to registry:

However, the CLSID and Interface keys are not added to the registry. Only the AppID and TypeLib keys are added. What am I doing wrong?
