I've created a project that contains a couple com dll's and I've set them to extract the information at build time.  The problem I'm having is that not all of the information is being extracted.  I've run RegSpyUI.exe and it displays everything, but I can't find all of it in the project.  The one dll that I'm working with has three interfaces, only 2 are showing up in the msi.

  Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?! I would rather not set the file to be self-registered.

We are having similiar problems, but we haven't found a solution either. Interestingly, it only occurs in COM DLLs made with VC 6. OCX files and DLLs made with VB6 are allright.

Actually, my dll's have been created by VB6. Haven't used Windows Installer yet with our .ocx.  But I will keep an eye on it.

We just found out why COM extraction failed:
The files were packed using "UPX". If you unpack them, COM extraction is working fine.

[anthonyh]

How did you go about unpacking them?

I simply ran "upx -d some.dll" (note that this won't change the file date).

Unfortunately that wasn't it.  Upx won't unpack my dll.
