Creating and Modifying Reg-Free COM Files for Your Installation

InstallShield 2024

Project: This information applies to the following project types:

Basic MSI
DIM
InstallScript MSI
Merge Module

Use the Reg-Free COM Wizard to create and modify Reg-Free COM manifest files to be included in your installation. Before you use the Reg-Free COM Wizard, you should add the COM libraries (.dll and .ocx files) and the executable file that uses them to your InstallShield project.

The wizard extracts COM information from the libraries that you specify and adds them to the application manifest files. It also creates a new component with the manifest file set as the key file. The manifest component has the same destination and condition as the associated executable-file component.
