How do I self register a COM server from my project output?

I'm writing an ATL COM server in Visual C++ 2005. I need to make an installer that will automatically register my COM server. I'm using InstallShield 2008 as a visual studio plugin, and in my Desintation computer's files I've added the output to my ATL project. I know how to make the installer register a COM DLL if I just bring in a COM DLL into my installer's Destination computer's files section, but I don't see how to do that with a project output. Is there a way to do this? I apologize if this seems like a real noob question, that's becuase it is . I just started using InstallShield a couple of days ago. I appreciate the help.

Thank you.

After Adding the files. Right click on the COM component in Destination Computer's file section and Select the properties. In that Select the Self Register Check Box.
