[WiX-users] Register DLL and WSC

[Hao L. <hl...@at...>]

We have about 30 DLLs and some WSCs to be registered. A script is easy -
you can just regsvr32 all.

When starting to work with Wix / MSI, it seems that we need to go the
tallow way.

Some issues with that -=20

*	Maintainability and release management; how can we optimize the
process of changing / updating / adding / removing DLLs?=20
*	How do we register wsc files?=20

=20

The alternative is to write a small EXE that will get a list of DLLs /
WSCs to register, and run regsvr32 (-u) for all.

=20

Any suggestion is highly appreciated!

Personally, I would suggest moving all of the registration to your .wxs
files once and then maintain those files any time there is an interface
change.  SelfReg is evil and documenting your registration in setup (.wxs
files) is far more productive, IMHO.
