[WiX-users] Registring CDO.dll - Heat ouput same as before, but Light now giving error

Hi,

I'm in the process of migrating more WiX files to the latest version of WiX.
I'm using 3.0.5217 and found this error that wasn't occurring in an older
version of WiX:

error LGHT0130 : The primary key 'regFB26914512AFF203D5986383999BD192' is
duplicated in table 'Registry'. Please remove one of the entries or rename
a part of the primary key to avoid the collision.

The DLL in question is actually CDO.dll 6.5.7940.0. I generated the WiX for
it using heat many versions ago (6 months or so). I regenerated again using
heat 3.0.5217 and it produced the same output. However, Light 3.0.5217 is
throwing the error above. Light never gave this error before.

If I comment out:

<ProgId Id="ActMsg.Session" Description="CDO Session Object" />

Light has no problems, but after generating the MSI, I ran Orca on the MSI,
and I got:

ICE33: Warning Reg key regFB26914512AFF203D5986383999BD192 is used in an
unsupported way. CLSID - ProdId associations should be registered via the
Class and ProdId tables. This entry may overwrite a value created through
those tables.

Should I create a ticket in sourceforge and attach CDO.dll?

Here's the WiX snippet:

<Component Id="CDO.DLL"

Roy,

It might be worth you opening a bug. However, you should not be installing
CDO on your own. There could likely be other pieces that need to be
installed that are not harvested from the DLL itself. This would invalidate
the installation of CDO on the system and could cause large problems. You
should look for a redistributable and chain that into your installation.

The message you are getting in light is saying that the output of the
harvest is basically not valid which is possible as COM is highly
customizable. Heat does not take into account all possible variations
because of those issues.

Thanks,

Brian Rogers

I was about to say the same thing. There is a redist, ExchangeCDO.exe, that wraps an MSI file:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2714320D-C997-4DE1-986F-24F081725D36&displaylang=en

containing a CDO.Dll version of 6.5.8067.0. There are other related downloads at this kb article:

Hi Brian,
I found this website http://www.cdolive.com/cdo7.htm which lead me to this
MS Collaboration Data Objects, version 1.2.1 (6.5.8067.0) download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2714320d-c997-4de1-986f-24f081725d36&displaylang=en

I'm going to talk to the developer and see if 6.5.8067.0 is compatible with
his application which is using 6.5.7940.0. If there's no problems, I may
just go with the MS re-distributable. I will go that route before I go and
create any unnecessary tickets. Will get back to with the result.

Thanks for the tip,

Roy

Thanks for the tips guys. We had 2 products using this. One works fine with
the redistributable, but the other didn't like it. So I'm going to chain
the redistributable package for the product that liked it, and we'll just
hold off for the other, until a code change. We got an error:

Marshaler restriction: Excessively long string.

I will leave to the developers to update accordingly and then our plan is to
use the redistributable.

Thanks!

Roy
