Deployment COM Interop question

[Saurabh]

Hello All,

I have a .NET component which needs to be deployed on the target machine so
that It can be exposed to the COM world. On the development machine, the
'register for com interop' setting when set to true, does the trick. When I
deploy it on a target machine (I am using Installshield Professional 6.3)
how do I register the assembly? Has anybody done it through installshield?
The other thing is when If I copy this assembly on the target machine, and
run regasm MyAssembly.dll, I can see the Object in the OLE / COM viewer but
not the interface which this object implements. Am I doing something wrong.
The tlb that is generated during the build is a separate file and its not
embedded in the dll.

Any inputs?

Set the Register property on your Assembly/Project Output Group in the
Setup project to vsdraCOM.

I am using Installshield Professional 6.3 and I could not find the property
to set which you have mentioned.

I'm not very familiar with InstallShield... you should probably check with
them to see if they support registering .NET Assemblies for COM Interop.
