[wix-users] Register WMI Provided (mofcomp)

[Christopher Painter]

I'm a C# / DTF guy with little C++ experience.  Is there a .net class that implements IMofCompilter:CompileFile or would that be straight up p/invoke?


For some reason I thought I had a C++ with COM that I built as x86 and x64.  I thought Heat handled it.  I'm probably wrong and Nir is probably right though.

To register the dll, you better use Heat as Christopher said. If this is a 64-bit dll then heat can't handle it. Instead, use RegShot (https://sourceforge.net/projects/regshot/) to capture the dll registration and with some find-and-replace you can turn it into wxs code.

To compile the MOF, the best practice method would be to create a custom action that uses IMofCompiler:CompileFile.
