Re: [WiX-users] Does anyone know how best to capture the registry changes made by RegAsm / RegTlib?

[Thomas S. T. <tom...@ar...>]

Well, RegAsm has the /regfile switch, but it doesn't work with the /tlb 
option; RegTLib has no such switch; I suppose I could embark on the 
wonderful world of code injection (which I'm sure my virus scanner will 
love), but even with CreateRemoteThread it looks pretty nasty.  I recall 
how interesting it was to write a thunk to push an extra parameter onto 
the stack in VB (nothing like storing assembly in data structures).  I 
will scour the web for a TLB utility that generates a reg file.
