Hello,

I have a problem with registering a DLL. This DLL (wshkit.dll) is under a Source Control system (ClearCase). Therefor the file is ReadOnly.
I have set the property "COM Extract at Build".

When the file is checked-in (readonly), the following error appears during build:

"ISDEV : warning -4354: The build was unable to extract COM information from the file wshkit.dll in component wshkit.dll. Please ensure that the file is self-registering and verify that the self-registration process does not fail."

After testing the build with the file checked-out (NOT readonly), the build was able to extract the COM information, and register the DLL with the installation of our product.

How can we extract COM information from a readonly file?

Waiting for any responds,

Using InstallShield DevStudio 9.0 (SP 1)

The problem is solved!

Here the solution for other ClearCase users:
The problem was a ClearCase element property of the file. You have to set the "execute" property of the element.

After this InstallShield is able to Extract COM information at Build.

Best regards,
