COM Information Missing For Shared Component

Title

Summary

Using shared components with files that have COM Information creates missing registry entries.

Symptoms

Using shared components with files that have COM Information creates missing registry entries.

Resolution

With shared components, there is only one entry in the components table but two references in the features table. The problem is when the entries are created in the MSI tables, they reference only one feature. The TypeLib table displays the reference to the NewFeature2 Feature. If that feature is not installed, the registry information will be missing. This is something that exists within the windows installer service and was done by design.
