How does "COM Extract at Build" work?
Does it extract the COM-infos directly out the DLL-File (ie. VB6 DLL) like regsvr32,
or
does it read the infos out of my dev-PC-registry?

We use a method similar to the methodology discussed by Junfeng Zhang:

Why is 64-bit COM extraction not implemented? Is there some problem with the approach outlined by Junfeng Zhang on 64-bit machines? Do I have to implement it myself if I don't want to do self registration for 64-bit components?

Tx Brian,
If I understand you well, IS 2008 uses the RegOverridePredefKey-API to extract COM-Info at build-time?

In essence, that's how it works. We do quite a bit of extra stuff to make life easier for you as an installation author as well, though.
As far as why 64-bit COM Extraction does not work right now, it's a feature request that we're looking in to.

The issue # for that feature request is IOB-000005298.
Sorry, took me a bit to find it.

Does COM extraction work for 64-bit setups in IS2009?
