Hi,

I have a bunch of DLLs (as well as a few EXEs) that need to be
registered on an installation target system.  Currently we do this by
using Phil Wilson's RegSpy2.exe to create a .reg file which then gets
turned into installation source - this all works really well, and life
is good.  I even have a way to keep the GUIDs consistent by virtue of
the way the code is laid out (the GUIDs aren't part of the generated
source code so it's not an issue).

But now we're moving towards 64-bit and RegSpy2 doesn't seem to want
to work...

Before we start digging into the RegSpy2 code to create a 64-bit
compatible version, does anyone have any existing ways of doing the
same thing (a command line that can be run from a build to get a .reg
file with the COM data for a particular DLL)?

Thanks

John

The WiX heat.exe can get registration info from files too. It
generates a wix compatible XML file which you might parse into your
installation as well.

Does this work for 64 bit DLLs?  I tried this recently and it failed, even with the x64 release of
WiX.  Poking around the net I found a post where someone explained that, due to some dependency,
heat was still 32-bit.  As such it can't load a 64-bit DLL.

I can't take credit for RegSpy2 - someone else took over the original RegSpy
and added the extra features. to make it "2".  I didn't bother with rype
library information because I assumed that people would be using the Typelib
table and not writing Interface entries from the Registry table. I don't
know of anyone that's done a 64-bit version. If you do, it perhaps you could
share it at Installsite.org.
