I'm very new with this Windows Installer. I have some dll for installation package. However, some dll are required to be registered first before other dll. So how do you make them in the right order? Do you have to do custom actions?

Thx.

You would have to call regsver32.exe in a custom action. Note however that this is not good practice. Instead you should populate the CLSID etc. tables and not use self registration. This is described in the docs.

Sorry that i dont explain it in detail. Actually the dll is COM+ and I used InstallShield Dev 8. I believe that the software has some features to handle COM+ application. So can I use that features for installing COM+ in the right order?

One more thing, there is a feature in InstallShield Dev 8 to create a virtual directory in IIS. So i dont have to use a vbscript to create it right?

Dev8 has no built in support for COM+ applications (only for COM). InstallShield DevStudio 9 which is currently in beta will have COM+ support.
