Add COM Type Library

COM Type Libraries are binary files with .tlb extension. Usually this files contain information about COM interfaces and components. To use this information, type library must be registered on target system.

AWinstall can determine most type library files and automatically create Type Library Registration action (See Add Files/Folders topic for more information).

To add type library registration manually, right-click on task where you want to create action and select "Add Type Library Registration" menu item. The "Select file from project" dialog will appear. Select the COM Type Library file and click OK.

If the type library file is placed in other installer task, uncheck the "From current task only " option. If it does not belong to AWinstall project (for example, if it is placed into known directory by third-party application), enter the path to this file. You can use installer variables in file path.

Note: Some In-Process (DLL) and Out-of-Process (EXE) COM Servers may contain type libraries as embedded resources. In such case, AWinstall does not creates Type Library registration automatically. Usually this type library resources are registered by COM Server itself. If it's not the case, add Type Library registration action manually for such files.
