Hi,

I currently have a .NET 2 assembly which is going to be distributed as part of our next software release. As it needs to be registered for interop I run regasm /regfile to get the registry entries that I then import into my install.

However, it also contains InterfaceIDs which regasm doesn't output when used with /regfile (see http://msdn2.microso...yw6(VS.80).aspx for more info).

The only way I can currently see of doing this step is to have a custom action in my install that calls regasm /tlb on the dll, but if possible I would live to avoid this step.

I feel like there must be a way and I'm missing something obvious, any help is appreciated.

I'm being a muppet - The correct way of doing it is to include the tlb as a seperate file in the install, and extract the registry entries at build time and include them with the tlb component.
