How to make a msi installer for installing a IE ActiveX control using flexera installshield?

Question

I have an Active X control which i would like to install in several windows machines . I read some articles which said it would be possible by writing an msi installer .

I am familiar with Flexera installshield and have made basic msi installers but i have no idea how to go about this .. :(

I just want to place the dll in a path and register it .. how should this be done .

Answer 1

Create a component and add the file to it. Mark it as the keyfile and then right click extract COM. InstallShield will virtualize the registration process and extract the results into your MSI source code so that DllRegisterServer doesn't have to be called during the installation.

Build and test on a VM.
