ICE33 Warning Reg key Registry_2 is used in an unsupported way. Typelib should be registered via the Typelib table -- this key is automatically written during typelib registration. Registry Registry Registry_2

I have gone thru this link as well http://support.installshield.com/kb/...icleid=Q107571. But m not getting how can i move the values from Registry table to TypeLIB or progID table as registry table do not have any column in common with the TypeLIB and ProgID table except component column.

Please help in this regard and if possible with proper example


thanks in advance

ICE33 nornally occurs when you repackage an application with InstallShield Repackager. This ICE is basically saying that your com data (self-registering information in DLLs) should be registered via the Class, Prog ID & Type Lib tables. However they are being registered by the Registry table as repackager is not always smart enough to distinguish between com data & regular registry data.

You should ignore this ICE warning. Trying to fix it can cause issues, including breaking your application. The registry table also does a fine job of registering your com information on the system, the only draw back is that if you advertise your application, this com data won't get installed at that time, which Microsoft recommends. But if you are not advertising, simply installing the product via a distribution tool, you can safely ignore ICE33. For more information on ICE33 & other ICEs take a look at my blog, Making Sense of ICE Validation: http://msiblogger.com/2007/02/28/icevalidation/
