If you have selected ISSelfReg as the self-registration method for COM servers, and if your project contains any files (or dynamic links) marked as self-registered, InstallShield adds information about those files to the ISSelfReg table of your .msi database.

ISSelfReg Table Information
Column Name	Description
FileKey	Foreign key into the File table, identifying the file (.dll, .ocx, .exe, .tlb, .olb) to be self-registered.
Cost	Reserved for future use.
Order	A nonnegative number identifying the order in which self-registration will occur. Any files with an Order value of 1 will be registered first, followed by files with an Order value of 2, and so forth. Finally, all files with an Order value of 0 will be registered.
CmdLine	For self-registering .exe files, stores a command line to be passed to the executable when it is self-registered. By default the field is empty, and the InstallShield run-time engine registers the .exe file with the /regserver argument and unregisters it with the /unregserver argument. To specify different arguments to pass during registration and unregistration, separate the arguments with a vertical bar (\|), as in /hello\|/goodbye.
