Message (Error)

This package contains a COM DLL surrogate (registry key [1]), which is not supported, so the application may not work correctly if virtualized.

[1] is the name of a registry key in the project.

Description

ISVICE18 checks for the presence of COM DLL surrogate files.

Corrective Action

Evaluate how important the COM DLL surrogate is to the product so that you can determine if it matters whether the product behaves as intended. If the DLL surrogate is unimportant, it is probably safe to deploy a virtualized version of the product with slightly reduced functionality. If the DLL surrogate is important, a virtualized version of the product may not function well.
